	When our system was crashing due to "not enough clists" or something
along those lines, Pyramid suggested that we double the number of clists.  If
we still saw the problem, triple it.  If it went beyond that, call RTOC back
and they'd look into it.  Well, 2 months later (after doubling the clists),
we haven't had any problems.  So, I'd recommend doubling (or possibly 
tripling) the number of clists.  If this doesn't help, call Pyramid.  You 
didn't state what version of OSx you were running -- this might have some
impact on the problem also (i.e. old bugs, etc.).  We're running OSx 4.4c,
so if you're not up to that level, your mileage may vary.   :-)
