- Big difference between blowing "MAXCONNECTIONS" (in config.h) as opposed
- to blowing past 127 users (the maximum limit allowed by Sun's stdio
- implementation).
-
- I got a nice big core file:
- 1752 -rw-r--r-- 1 hrose 10133936 Nov 10 21:52 mother-core
-
- (I've blown it several times before and since then, but that was the
- most spectacular)
-
- I've gotten patches to get rid of stdio in the ircd so I won't have this
- problem. And the problem will cease when csd splits into routing and
- user servers in January.
