	Try (as root):

		ncp define exec max links 80
		ncp set exec max links 80

	The default is 20 links (really a little less due to implementation) so this may
	be the resource you are running out of if there are alot of connections going in
	and out of the gateway at the same time.

	If that's not the problem, it could be you are running out of mbuf's since in V2.2 the
	mbuf pool was a fixed size (ie. the pool itself didn't grow).  There are some configuration
	file parameters that you can change to increase this (sorry, I don't know what they are).
