20000329: children.h MAXBUTTONS

Looks like I'll probably have to up the MAXBUTTONS parameter for
sites that start getting the full set of NIDS sites. Come October,
when NIDS are freely available, more sites will probably hit
the current 100 limit.

Thanks Chiz, 

That line fix seems to have done the trick. You might want to
include that in the next release in readiness for when the Nids
contract expires and all sites become available.
