what system limit?

[Ulf Wiger (ÄL2/EAB)]

See the output below. I am trying to create a database using mnesia.
After a while, I get a complaint that an ets table cannot be created because
of some system limit. Which one would that be? I've verified using a small
background loop that the number of ets tables is < 40.

This happens in both R9B and R9C.
