X-Mailer: VM 6.75 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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?
