I would have to write a test-program first. This needs time. Before I spend hours into coding this, first just tell me how I can raise the global-limit from around 600-700 MB to 1500 MB.

To reproduce this, you would have to create a server which is sending data to 4000 non-blocking sockets. It doesnt matter what you send. You should realize a slow-down the more sockets you use. You need Gigabit for this to appear.


Please send us the exact test programs to run, not some general
description of what "one should do" to reproduce the problem.

This is exactly what is stalling this bug getting diagnosed properly
and fixed.
