Quoting from "Monitor: Performance Analyser for UNIX Systems
Reference Manual"
"The number of clist buffers (character buffers)
should be set to five to ten per terminal. If you
are running networking software over serial ports,
you may need to allocate somewhat more. If you run
out of clist buffers, a message on the console will
tell you so. On systems with intelligent serial I/O
controllers, it is often possible to reduce clist
buffers to a minimum, leaving only enough to keep
the console operating. You should check with the
manufacturer of your serial I/O controller to check
whether clists are used and free unwanted buffers."
