how much buffer space do you need?

my error log shows this:

java.net.SocketException: No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?): connect
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source)

i don’t have a problem when it’s there for 1 time. but 18Mb is getting a bit big (i use minilog)

how much buffer space do i need?
and how much connections do i have and how much do i need to run OSI better.

i use OSI 4.8.

i guess it’s just my 32Mb. but i have never seen that the error log got that big, it was the status log which got big because msn signed on and off
