Yes. The reason a) is encountered when incoming traffic is faster than the
outgoign handle (namely SMS centers) and usually results in that
'too many concurrent allocations'. This can be avoided by increasing the
size of the checking malloc buffers, but if things keep going like that it
will eventually panic. Moreover, store files of several megabytes is more
than a problem. This entire thing should be fixed so that more priority is
given to outgoing messages, i.e. just make it impossible to grow queues
inside Kannel - just make the queues to build up into sockets/other
programs. Of course this is far from trivial with some SMS centers.
