MQTT-SN Gateway crashing when enabling QoS-1 with the error "Max number of Clients"

[bySimpson]

Hi!

I am currently having some problems setting up the MQTT-SN Gateway (UDP mode). It is working fine as long as I am not enabling the QoS-1 mode in the gateway.conf file.

I am currently using the following configuration:
gateway.conf:

And this is the clients.conf file that I am currently using (Note that I am using a dummy IP address and this one will not be the final one)

#     ClientId, SensorNetAddress, "unstableLine", "secureConnection"
#     in case of UDP, SensorNetAddress format is IPAddress: port no.

The gateway is currently running in a docker container, but it also isn't working if I try to run it without docker. This is the Dockerfile I am currently using:

FROM alpine as builder
WORKDIR /usr/bin/app
RUN apk add git alpine-sdk bash cmake openssl-dev
RUN git clone https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt-sn.embedded-c
RUN cd paho.mqtt-sn.embedded-c/MQTTSNGateway && \
    ./build.sh udp -DDEBUG_NW -DDEBUG_MQTTSN

@ty4tw - any thoughts on that?

Same problem here.
