Barry, it's known bug. I remember the maximum number of processes that
is 32 in datop. The reason that setting like this is that I feel
impossible to monitor so many processes at the beginning.

And it seems that the error message should been printed here, instead of
crash. Thank you for reminding me.

Oh, it's ever happen to me. Does It always show like this when
