and your bug report is where? :)

i'd love to see some diagnostics when that happens, since i've not
seen that myself.

however, there is this option in the config file:

       maxprocs =3D num
              Throttles the number of  concurrently  forked  pro=AD
              cesses  to  num.  The intent is to provide a safety
              net for the  unlikely  situation  when  the  server
              tries to take on too many tasks at once.  Note that
              this situation has only  been  reported  to  happen
              when  trying  to  use a garbled configuration file!
              You don't want to use a garbled configuration  file
              now, do you?
