Sobral (8-DCS) Well, as it turns out, the machine which is actively exhibiting the problem has had a NIC swap is went into active service, so I won't be getting the test results which might justify an ABI breakage too soon. In the meantime, I've been looking more, and it appears that I should be able to hack around the limit without breaking the ABI. (There may be a performance penalty, but it should be extremely minor.) Mike "Silby" Silbersack
