Hi Philippe,

looking at the registry code, I had an idea: we could increase the
number of descriptors dynamically when they are exhausted, and increase
the hash size as well. This would make the configurable number of slots
a starting point, but not a liimit. The access to the registry by name
does not really need to be fast, so we could protect it with a mutex
(that would mean that all services accessing the registry by name would
need to run in secondary mode, but I am not sure we care, and if we do,
we can use an xnsynch instead).

What do you think?
