well, if an application uses port 1050, and eggdrop tries to use port 1024-65535 it might get stuck after port 1049, since it tries to open 1050, which is unavaible.
It's called "reserved-portrange" not "theoretical avaible port range".

check max-files/inodes have already been checked and they are high enough for that not to happen.

As far as running out of ports goes, consider, ports 1025-65535 on each ip are available. So I don't think I ran out of ports.

sounds like a open file restriction. check max-files/inodes. But maybe you also ran out of avaible ports.

One of my users gets this after 30+ bots have connected to his hub and him in DCC Chat with the hub bot.

I have searched like crazy on this error and have not come up with anything. I do have other users with 30+ bots connected to a hub and they have not had issues.

Has anyone seen/had this issue? If so, what was the fix or did you get the issue fixed?
