[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#909399: kacpimon handles not more than 20 connections

[ziegler at uni-freiburg.de]

Package: kacpimon
Version: 1:2.0.28-1+b1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

starting kacpimon fails because of "too many connections". Here
is stdout:

This also happens with older kernels.
