9.5.0-P2 under Win XP: warnings about the 'files' limit in Event Log

[Jukka Pakkanen]

I get the same message in all our Windows server with P2, reported that a 
week ago but haven't heard anything about it yet. Also the P2 crashes 
several times a day even in a low-load server, hopefully the "very soon to 
be released" fixed windows version is coming soon.

Subject: 9.5.0-P2 under Win XP: warnings about the 'files' limit in Event 
Log


Hello fellow list users,


I'm using BIND under the FreeBSD and Windows to build a reliable DNS
infrastructure in my home and lab network. Today I've upgraded one of
the Windows XP installations of BIND from 9.5.0-P1 to -P2. Everything
works like a charm except that there is a one suspicious warning entry
with ID 2 in the Event Log saying that
------------------------------[Cut]------------------------------
the 'files' limit (2048) is less than FD_SETSIZE (16384), increase
'files' in named.conf or recompile with a smaller FD_SETSIZE.
------------------------------[Cut]------------------------------

There is no "files" directive in my named.conf under the "options"
section. It seems to me that the nature of the warning described above
seems to be strange because the default setting for the "files" is
"unlimited".

I've tried to subsequently set the "files" option to "16384" and
"unlimited" but it doesn't help.

Could anyone confirm this and suggest the possible trick to avoid the
problem?

Thanks.
