Synopsis: regarding PR#454 Comment-Added-By: dgaudet Comment-Added-When: Sat Jul 19 11:33:48 PDT 1997 Comment-Added: (Interesting, this pr is closed but the audit trail doesn't show why.)
SunOS4 has a kernel bug in the allocation of memory for the mbuf table. When it fills up, the result is a Panic the next time any routine tries to set something in an imaginary mbuf beyond the range of the table. Due to buggy browser behavior and the lack of a FIN_WAIT_2 timeout on SunOS4, "KeepAlive Off" is necessary to avoid filling up the mbuf table on busy sites.
