I added your PyVCP to sim-axis/axis-9axis
I then loaded a 5i25 and a set of Mesa cards.
All was well.
I then used mux_generic to add a _lot_ of float-type HAL pins and found that the system died at 878 pins.
(actually crashed the PC, but I am running an experimental RTAI kernel)
Trying again I managed to get to
2789 HAL pins before it looked like running out of memory was likely.
Code:

Feb 19 23:55:10 rm-one kernel: [ 642.439484] HAL: creating pin 'or2.0.in0'
Feb 19 23:55:10 rm-one kernel: [ 642.439485] smalloc_dn: shmem available 347280

To find the number of pins in your config, open a terminal (with your config running) and "halcmd show pin > pins.txt" then open the pins.txt file in a text editor with line numbers (such as Geany)
