I have two freebsd boxes (back to back) and I've
been playing with a simple server on one machine
and client on the other machine (this was simply
an exercise with playing with kqueue).  Both the 
server and the client are single processes and the 
client seems to stop at 32,763 connections.

I've modified the port range, tcp keepalive, 
kern.ipc.somaxconn, maxfiles, maxsockets, nmbclusters.
I even tried net.inet.tcp.tcbhashsize (up to 1024).

Is there some other parameter I'm missing?  Or is this
a known limitation/bug?
