  John P. Dodge <john.p.dodge@boeing.com>

  David Robillard <David.Robillard@Matrox.COM>

most of whom pointed me to the archives (or quoted therefrom)

which can be summarized thusly:

  There is a hard limit of 128 X clients for a given Xserver

  display. This means that the Solaris Xserver can only handle

  128 clients being displayed on it.

Thanks to everyone for the quick response!

My original query follows:

> Xlib: Maximum number of clients reached

> Error: couldn't connect to display "rds023:0"

I don't speak for Goodyear and they don't speak for me. We're both happy.
