It is intended solely to keep the server from crashing * when things get out of hand. * * We keep a hard maximum number of servers, for two reasons --- first off, * in case something goes seriously wrong, we want to stop the fork bomb * short of actually crashing the machine we're running on by filling some * kernel table. Secondly, it keeps the size of the scoreboard file small * enough that we can read the whole thing without worrying too much about * the overhead. */ #ifndef DEFAULT_SERVER_LIMIT #define DEFAULT_SERVER_LIMIT 256 #endif ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
