It sounds like you have mystic set up to have 700+ nodes. Take a look at your
server setup in MCFG in Servers >> Configure Servers >> Terminal (Telnet) >>
Max Allowed field and pare it down to something manageble like 5 or so.

Also, check your mystic data dir and see how many chat*.dat files you have.
You might have over 700 of them, which could be a world record.

Lastly, in a terminal window, run nodespy and see how many nodes are
displayed. The number of nodes should match your number of configured nodes in
the network settings. It is allowable to delete the chat*.dat files without
doing any harm to the system. I would recommend doing that if there are that
many of them.
