> Hi.

> I've been running a bridge on and off for some time and still run into
> the same annoying issue.  After the Bridge process runs for some period of
> time and the amount of activity (Quickbridge processes spawned and destroyed)
> goes past a certain point, the Bridge stops functioning properly.  It no
> longer identifies itself to the registry and no new entries are added
> to the log file.  I've tried different FC5 and FC6 platforms, assuming that
> this problem was machine specific, but this behavior has not changed.  I
> also tried running Bridge as root, thinking that I was running into some kind
> of restricted buffer limit.  No difference.
