That shouldn't be a problem - I'm not running anything else that would
be taking up thousands of ports. I'll try the code on an earlier
(2.2.13) kernel. I suspect it will work. The strange thing is that I'm
not getting errors with any other apps (other than the fact that I'm
using a 28.8k dialup and everything is doggedly slow).

Meanwhile I'll grab the MzScheme code and see if I can figure out
anything from that.

Thanks!
