Run away number of smbd children

[Kevin Robinson]

Hey,

I've setup a fully loaded 1280 (SunOS cavern 5.10 Generic_125100-10 
sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-T12) with samba 3.0.27a and 4's smbtorture; 
however, I can't get the torture app to open more than 251 connections 
before I get memory errors.  This box has 24GB memory!  Should I point 
several machines+smbtorture at it or is there some memory setting that 
I've over looked?
