Not only have I tried that, I inserted an exit statement after the first iteration (to limit the info). The first qdisc in the loop has the handle 1:76 and it's parent is 1:1. The only other qdisc is the root qdisc that is created before the loop. The script also does a reset, deleting any existing qdiscs, classes or filters, before creating any new ones. Is there a limit to how large the handle can be?
