(System: 386/ix running ISC X11R3 V1.1 on vanilla VGA)
Inevitably, after using X for a while,I lose the ability to open new
connections to my server. When I try to start a new application, I get, for
example:
/usr2/campbell> xrdb -query
xrdb: No such device or address
xrdb: Can't open display 'unix:0'
/usr2/campbell>
I suspect I'm running out of some resource, because if I reboot my system
I can successfully start all the applications I was originally trying and
failing to.
I have checked streams resources with /etc/crash -- I've never run out
of any stream buffers. Here's the strstat output:
ITEM CONFIG ALLOC 425788 90 0
data block size 4 128 0 128 169046 5 0
data block size 16 256 26 230 32667 32 0

data block size 4096 4 0 4 93 3 0
Count of scheduled queues: 0
I'm not using very many ptys -- three or four typically, and I'm configured
for 16. I have 10MB of memory and have configured the kernel
appropriately. I'm the only user. No console messages are appearing.
How can I figure out what I'm short of so I can bump it up?
