Re: Bus allocation

I also can't replicate this problem and am able to allocate up to 16384
control busses with the original code.

If it were me, I'd consider temporarily uninstalling extensions/quarks,
checking the startup file (maybe even reinstalling SC?).

I'd also be curious what happens if you set the max control bus number to
something extremely small,
e.g. Server.local.options.numControlBusChannels_(4);...by your
calculations, this should only allow you to create half of a control bus
(??)
