./configure --enable-threads --enable-smp-support --enable-kernel-poll  
--enable-hipe
...
checking for working poll()... broken or based on select()
checking whether kqueue() fd can be select()ed on... yes
checking whether kernel poll support should be enabled... yes; kqueue
...

It should be using kqueue and the Erlang prompt reports that it's  
using kqueue. In fact, I distinctly remember being able to go to at  
least 20k connections (descriptors) when banging on OpenPoker last year.

It puzzles me greatly that I cannot do better than 1024 this time  
around.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

	Thanks, Joel
