Hello.  I'm running NetBSD 1.0R/sparc on my ELC.  It's being used
as a dedicated IRC/mail server, which serves approximately 250 
simultaneous tcp (irc) connections.  I've run into an accept() call
failing because all connections are in use.  I assume that this
is the syslimits.h define of OPEN_MAX.  However, this value was set
to 64, and my connections were maxing out at 173.  I upped the value
to 255, reinstalled the changed include file and rebuilt the kernel,
but the connections are still maxing at 173.

A call to getdtablesize() returns the value of OPEN_MAX, as advertised.

Is there something else that needs to change here? Apologies if this
isn't port-sparc material, but this doesn't seem to be a problem on
i386.

Thanks.

-Chris
