I may have spoke in error when I said named pipes. I assumed that was
the protocol used which was hitting the 10 connection limit.

I do have the source for the middle tier framework, I just don't like
modifying vendor code for production usage. I did make a quick fix
just for testing, setting the protocol to cpTCP_IP when a connection
is created, but I still encounter this issue. I do see multiple
connections to port 3050, so at least some parts are talking TCP. Are
there any tools or commands I could run to try and track down where
some of the "bad" connection types are coming from, or how many are
active?
