+Subject: [PATCH] Increase listen() backlog queue to 32
+
+For reasons historically unknown, OpenVPN sets the listen() backlog
+queue to "1", which signals the kernel "while there is one TCP connect
+waiting for OpenVPN to handle it, refuse all others" - which, on
+restarting a busy TCP server, will create connection issues.
+
+The exact "best" value of the backlog queue is subject of discussion,
+but for a server that is not extremely busy with many connections
+coming in in parallel, there is no real difference between "10" or "500",
+as long as it's "more than 1".
+
+Found and debugged by "mjo" in Trac.
+
+Trac: #1208
