Thanks, checking it out there are only four (4!) bpf's available. I've
started a discussion thread on Apple's support groups on how to increase
this to a decent amount.
The workaround would be
max_checks = 4
even though the manfile says "max_threads", right ? Or should I also
reduce the "max_hosts" ?
