IB 7.1 SP 2 ProcessAffinityMask

I am looking in my Interbase log file and see the following:
CLUB-DATA (Server) Tue Jun 21 00:52:01 2005
SERVER/set_process_affinity: hyper-threading ProcessAffinityMask is bf
CLUB-DATA (Server) Tue Jun 21 00:52:01 2005
SERVER/set_process_affinity: setting ProcessAffinityMask to bf
My server has four processors with hyperthreading, I have hyperthreading
enabled in the IBConfig file. Further I have processor licenses for all
four physical processors (the server license itself plus three
additional CPU certificates). Why is the affinity mask 'bf' instead of
'ff'?

First thing to check: Make sure you have MAX_THREADS set to some high
value like 999999. There is a bug when setting it to 1000000, but it
may only affect 7.5.1. You will certainly have problems if it is set to
1.

Re:IB 7.1 SP 2 ProcessAffinityMask

I have set MAX_THREADS to 999999 and my affinity mask is still bf
