Never mind, I found the answer. The only thing that puzzles me. The
documentation says the default is 32, but at the time I received the
error messages there were only about 10-12 clients connected. Is it
possible that the default isn't 32?
I have set the number to 64 now. As far as I can tell the only
"drawback" when increasing this number, is that more memory is needed.
Any other disadvantages?
Cheers
