Well, question 1 is: are you reaching the limit because you have a lot
of legitimate match rules (128 is the current limit it looks like), or
because you have a bug and are leaking match rules.

If you have 128 for a good reason then we should probably just bump up
the limit. How many do you need?

It is certainly configurable, btw, afaik at least. See man page. You can
use this to experiment and see how high the limit needs to be ;-)
