I will have to dig in to the code to see if there are any hard-coded
limits to connections.  However, GNATS operates through inetd at the
moment, so the connection limits might be limited at that level.
Other limits, I suspect, might involve locking issues for PR's or the
database itself.

*nod*  I'd look to inetd first.  In Mel Hatzis Oracle port of GNATS
(which he is incrementally adding to CVS), he has properly daemonized
GNATS to run without inetd, allowing it to keep a pool of DB
connections open.  I have not looked at his code, but he may have
resource management infrastructure in place to limit client
connections.  It would be interesting to dig in to.
