SubjectRe: Wierd listen/connect: accept queue never fills up
 From the Linux kernel doc :

tcp_max_syn_backlog
-------------------
Length of  the per socket backlog queue. Since Linux 2.2 the backlog specified
in listen(2)  only  specifies  the  length  of  the  backlog  queue of already
established sockets. When more connection requests arrive Linux starts to drop
packets. When  syncookies  are  enabled the packets are still answered and the
maximum queue is effectively ignored.
