Kernel Table is full!!
>Description:
I run freebsd on a petium pro 200 with 96 MB RAM.  It's primary task 
is to send emails to our customers.  We emailed about 4,000 a day.  
I get this error message "kernel table is full" and I can't even log in
to reboot the machine and my only recourse is warm boot the machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
The problem is repeats every couple of days doing the same workload and
function.

 Please visit http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook37.html and take a
 look at the instruction on compiling a new kernel. Specifically you want
 to dramatically raise the number for "maxusers." This should eliminate
 your problem entirely. Please respond to the freebsd-gnats-submit
 address when you've had a chance to give that a try and tell us how it
 went. :)
 
 Good luck,
 
 Doug
