Socket error: TCP_MD5SIG: Cannot allocate memory

24 Aug 2015

      I have a machine running BIRD 1.4.5, and I'm seeing a lot of these 
messages when I start it up:

2015-08-24 15:54:26 <ERR> xxxx: Socket error: TCP_MD5SIG: Cannot 
allocate memory
2015-08-24 15:54:26 <ERR> yyyy: Socket error: TCP_MD5SIG: Cannot 
allocate memory

It also seems like the sessions that report that error do not come up, 
and show a status of 'Error: Kernel MD5 auth failed'.

I'm only trying to configure around 200 BGP sessions here, most of which 
are advertising a very small number of prefixes.

I don't really see any tunable settings here, any suggestions as to how 
I can correct this?
