Here I go, making a fool of myself again.  I just don't have the time to
keep up with this list along with everything else .......

I seem to have hit an upper limit on the number of CAP processes we can run.
We have a relatively simple setup: one Multigate (using 3 of it's 4 ports),
and about half a dozen Macs, mostly IIs, with 4 printers.  We run timelord,
aarpd, atis, and use aufs.  I had 4 lwsrv's running, and have increased it to
7 (two are remote, and spool things through Sun /etc/printcap, the other 5
have printers attached).  We run everything in one zone, except that all
ethernet stuff is run in a separate zone (a couple ethertalk Mac IIs, and the
Sun running enet CAP).  I've replicated the problem on CAP 5.0 and 6.0.

When all the above is running, nothing happens.  Kill one process, any one of
them, and all the rest work fine.  Same thing if you use atlook--just count it
as another process.  All works until you hit the "magic number".

Did we overlook something glaringly obvious?  It would seem we did, but I
haven't been able to find it :-(

Thanks in advance.  All advice gratefully accepted.
