I'll keep you up to date. the number 350 rings another bell: if your software uses one thread per connection, and uses the default stack size (which is 8 to 10Mb on modern linux/glibc) you'll run out of 32 bit virtual address space around 350. If that's the case you probably really want to tell the pthreads library that you know what you are doing and that you want a smaller stack size please ;) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
