Maximum number of clients reached?

[Dan Stromberg]

I keep bumping up against the maximum number of clients.  Sometimes I'll 
have as few as 38 windows open (according to xlsclients), and still I 
hit the limit.

I like to log in, and stay logged in a long time, leaving lots of 
windows open so I can flip back to the quickly and easily using a large 
pager in fvwm2.  Because I keep hitting this limit, I have to kill all 
my windows and start over from time to time.  Perhaps in a windows 
environment that's unsurprising, but in the Linux world, it's weird.

I've had the same problem for a long time - across multiple OS 
upgrades.  I'm currently having the problem with the openSUSE 10.3 
version of Xvnc, which is based on RealVNC 4.1.2.

Is this a known problem in vanilla RealVNC 4.1.2?  Is there a fix or 
workaround - like perhaps increasing the limit from 255 to 65535 or 
something?  That way, I could at least leak clients longer.  :)

If it matters, the openSUSE Xvnc has 1301 lines of patches applied to 
it, relative to the upstream sources.  It's not massively modified, but 
not minisculely either.

Thanks!
