No code should ever examine kern.ipc.somaxconn; it is there for
sysadmin use only. If the desire is to express ``the most this system
will allow'', the correct use is to pass the value -1 as the backlog
parameter to listen(). All systems which implement kern.ipc.somaxconn
also implement this feature.
