splunk crash upon receiving too many sockets

Hi,
I'm working on splunk free, I try to run multiple connections by sockets.
If I try to many sockets (about 350), the splunk server is stuck and I'm getting these errors:
In web service : errors "Splunkd daemon is not responding"
In splunkd : warnings "write failed with :104" or "write failed with :32".
How many connection can splunk handle? and is it suppose to crash if too many connections are opened?
TIA

A defect in Windows causes sockets to be leaked. This can be fixed by applying a patch; see the Microsoft KB.

Note that increasing the number of ephemeral ports per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q196271 only delays the recurrence of the issue.
