A recent change to AOLserver (4.0.10) allows you to start the server with the fd rlimit > FD_SETSIZE (1024) for AOLserver applications that require it (and do NOT use select()). This is an advanced capability with many dangers: when fd rlimit is set > FD_SETSIZE, things like ns_sockselect are no longer safe to use when more than FD_SETSIZE fd's are in use.
Currently, out of the box, only the http.tcl (ns_httpget, ns_httppost) and sendmail.tcl (ns_sendmail) use ns_sockselect. Also, parts of the underlying Tcl core use select(), so using those parts of Tcl will also be unsafe. If you're observing strange segfaults/crashes with newer AOLserver 4.0.x, check what rl_cur and rl_max are (see server log at startup) and ensure "ulimit -n" is set to FD_SETSIZE, or generally 1024. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
