Thanks, Ken.

 From memory, I think the limit was closer to 20.  I just tried to login 
there to double-check, but I got the "WARNING: REMOTE HOST 
IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" message from ssh.  I haven't changed the 
host key, so I decided to stop right there.  Possibly Randy knows what's 
going on.

You're welcome.  I rarely had to do anything to that machine.  It's one 
of the most reliable pieces of equipment I've ever seen.  It's been 
getting hammered by CVSup clients 24/7 for close to 10 years, and it's 
still got all the original parts (even hard drives) except for the RAM, 
which I changed out to ECC early on.  I don't remember it ever crashing. 
  It has been up continuously without any attention from me ever since I 
upgraded it to 4.11 almost 2 years ago.  (Yes, I was paying attention to 
security advisories. :-)
