- Versions of Windows without the word "server" in their name

- but it also happens in some cases for XP, especially if you don't
- have much memory. The problem is that we don't use the networking
- system calls in a very Windows-like way, so we run out of space in
- a fixed-size memory space known as the non-page pool, and then
- everything goes bad. The symptom is an assert error with the
- message "No buffer space available [WSAENOBUFS ] [10055]". <a

- Most developers who contribute to Tor work with Unix-like operating

- <li>
- More esoteric or archaic operating systems, like SunOS 5.9 or
- Irix64, may have problems with some libevent methods (devpoll,
- etc), probably due to bugs in libevent. If you experience crashes,
- try setting the EVENT_NODEVPOLL or equivalent environment
- variable.
