I'm still trying to track down a number-of-interface problem where
having 20 interfaces will eventually crash the machine (with enough
traffic going through) and 16 interfaces won't.

I note that AF_MAX is 33 (as is PF_MAX) and AF_MAX is used to size
several structures are sized to AF_MAX.  Now... with 20 interfaces in
my machine the message from "option BRIDGE" says that this generates
30 interfaces (I assume that this includes other automatically
generated interfaces).

Would generating more than 33 interfaces total bogify some structures
allocated with AF_MAX?

Dave.
