I have a program that opesn a LOT of sockets simultaneously.

It occasionally dies because it gets a `No buffer space available' error
when trying to create yet another socket.

I have already reconfigured my kernel (2.2.8) so that I have maxusers set
to 192 and also NMBCLUSTERS set to 24576.

OK, so what ELSE do I need to do in order to make this error go away?

What is the name of the kernel parameter that determines how much space
the kernel will use (at a maximum) for socket buffers?

P.S.  I really don't think I am anywhere near to running out of physical
memory.  The box in question has just ooodles and oodles of it.
