Right; and this is a known "problem", and it says in Checkpoint installation 
manuals to increase a certain kernel parameter, and it also says what the value 
of the kernel parameter should be. But the "christmas tree experts" here 
probably didn't know that, because one could see they were already under heavy 
stress at the mere mention of the word "Solaris".

How do you like this one (firewall):
