Hello, It is very possible that it's SIMS what crashes. To be more exact, with too many active network streams the OpenTransport code is really pushed to its limits and may crash.
In the logs you sent me off list crash occurs deep inside OT code - and I suspect that that might be the same problem with the internal OT memory pools which we saw so often (that "OT is Out of memory" error preventing SIMS from accepting new connection requests.)
