Hi!

What is the trick to solve this when this error message comes up ?

"Maximum number of clients reached"

It happens when I start some X11 application like xv.

fstat shows that the Xorg process has approx. 264 file handles open,
approx. 255 of them are of this type:

root     Xorg       31521   14* local stream fffff8006387c200 <-> fffff80063be5900

This seems to be new since FreeBSD 12.1, as I never experienced this
before ?
