Under normal operation, SER can handle
significantly more registrations, by
orders of magnitude. To me, it sounds much more like a result of a memory leak.
Jiri, note that this happens on startup. In fact it runs out of mem. when it tries to alloc. a chunk of memory big enough to
hold all the
entries in location. This is not a memory leak and it really happens if
PKG_MEM_POOL_SIZE is 1Mb and you have >6000 entries in location (it
depends of course on your average entry size, but the critical point is
in general between 6000-7000).

Are you using stock SER or some modified SER? In
any case, the way to catch such
leaks is to set a talkative memory log level (memlog=2 in ser.cfg), recompile ser
with memory debugging informaiton (uncomment DBG_QM_MALLOC, comment F_MALLOC
in Makefile.defs and do recompile completely) and watch log output on SER shutdown
for excessive occurent of unallocated memory fragement. I would be very thankful
if you could report your observations back to us.

This could be a mem. leak (but this is unrelated to the startup
problem).
