I have around 1k interfaces mostly ppp interfaces
Only the first 16 will be listed as this information becomes irrelevant with more interfaces (the intent was to let users find why a listen attempt failed).
This is probably the long 1K list, many things have changed internally after the allocator was redesigned from scratch. Thank you for reporting the bug.
I also confirm the comment which says that the maintenance script crashes. Thanks for that.
Note that bandwidth shaping will be modified to avoid the newer Linux syscalls so the GLIBC 2.7 requirement will be waved.
...with a custom compiled kernel
As a general rule, check again on a standard system like Debian 6.x before asking a question: there is room enough for trouble with a known system - there's no need to add custom system components.
Thank you all for the tons(!) of emails received these two last days about the new release!
