no "ESMTP" prompt after some messages

[Davide Giunchi]

Hi all.

I'm using qmail-1.03 on a linux slackware 7.1 Atlhon server, after some
time and some mail sent 
perfectly from the smtpd server i don't get the "ESMTP ..." prompt of qmail

if i do a "telnet server smtp"  i get the "escape caracter is..." line and
after that nothing, this continue
until i reboot the server. I get the following error in another qmail
server 

Here it's my startup line:
---
 csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
  QMAILUID=`id -u qmaild` 
  NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
  /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c100 -u$QMAILUID
-g$NOFIL
ESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &  >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
---

in the /var/log/mail.log there's nothing interesting.
What can i do?

Hello.
Davide.

Is it possible that you have hit your concurrency limit?  If so, that's
exactly what happens:  It accepts the connection but will not launch the
qmail-smtpd process until a session becomes available.
