You'll see the same happen on linux/FreeBSD/Solaris etc. The problem is 
pth. select() call can't use over 1024 sockets. The solutions is to use 
a connection manager like JADC2S, available from the js.org CVS. 
(browse the source: http://www.jabberstudio.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.
cgi/jabberd14/jadc2s/ ) No idea how this will port to windows. 

There is no "native" port of jabberd to windows that is opensource, 
though there are several commercial ones. I doubt there will be one of 
the "old" 1.4.2 code, maybe of the new (GPL *only* most likely) 
jabberd2 as intrest in Jabber is rising.
