Dale,

Apperently a new TCP/IP stack has been launched recently. I saw
*a lot* of aborted FTP transfers (still data in the transmit queue),
and these have not timed out for some reason :-(.

I rebooted the box, upped the limit to 100, and will monitor
the box more closely. It should be replaced by some other machine
RSN, but that involves some other work for which I don't have time
now (basically rebuilding the info server).

Please complain to <ncc at ripe.net> if you see this again. I can
make another box available if need be, but I first want to
see if the problem is persistent.

Thanks,

Geert Jan
