the trivial stuff you deal with first, like the default 8MB thread stack which makes the machine fall over. But it still seems to very hard on a linux box to spawn 5k threads and run them, one thread to a socket. The whole machine just starts to bog down. I did not write this particular code, was only a victim of it. ron
