Hi Tomasz, If you need to have an actual limit, you could define it internally (not adding an external configuration option), but bear in mind that This won't prevent an application from trying to allocate more sessions. If your PMD has a limitation on the maximum number of sessions, then maybe this change won't work for you (removing the maximum number of sessions), so let me know and we can discuss this. Thanks, Pablo P.S. Please, next time, strip out the code that you are not commenting, as it was hard to find this question :)
