CLASS="MSGEXPLAN"
> Resolving process has reached its maximum number of child processes. This
is intended as a "brake" to prevent too many children from hogging
your computer's resources and possibly crashing it. Unless IPTraf-ng is monitoring an extremely busy network without filters,
this shouldn't happen, at least, not that often. If you notice
this message, try applying filters or check your DNS server. Many times,
this can happen when the DNS server goes down for whatever reason
and you have resolving process children taking too long to resolve.</BLOCKQUOTE
