Phew, 100 tracks...

I never got past 15. You might want to start jack manually (using
--port-max) and see if the problem persists. According to the result,
you may need to contact qjackctl or ardour developers.

We don't apply any patches to either application that might result in
this behavior. You can have a look at our patches at
