I'm sure this was discussed not so long ago, but of course I
didn't need to know then... :-)

Setup: 386 clone w/8MB RAM + ISC 2.2 with TCP/IP 1.2 and NFS. All
streams resources reconfigured as recommended during the installation.
Hooked into Sun's moderately complex (:-) in-house net (netstat -r has
33 entries, with about 5 gateways on the local net). I bring up the
system, log in on the console, and do nothing. Within a few minutes I
get

 KERNEL: allocq: out of queues

and various streams out-of-resources messages from gated (and maybe
others). netstat -m reports:

		 alloc	 inuse	   total     max    fail
streams:	    96	    64	     154      64       0

    8 (4096)	    56	     0	       0       0       0

Yup! Out of queues all right! And lots of allocation failures too.
After this point I can't run any network apps and the system often
hangs up. Suggestions? (Probably via email, so folks don't get bored.)

Thanks

Geoff
