Where did yous ee those messages? I assume &errors.

What OS are you running this on?

I have a feeling that the box is running out of memory.

"Buffer allocation error for %s" is generated when valloc (malloc) returns
NULL. This means that either you're out of ram, or malloc doesn't know how
to alloc more. You should probably check your OS's manual.

Clients are existed because they we couldn't alloc enough memory to hold
the data in the send queue for them. It could also be that the OS can't
hold the buffers, in which case you ussually get the "Resource temporaly
unavailable".
