Yes, it is possible that random ephemeral port allocation could cause the
MySQL problems, if the connection rate is extremely high.  If it's
happening, it would show up in the form of sockets stuck in the SYN_SENT
state.  If one of the people reporting problems can verify it, I could
backport the changes I made to handle this edgecase in 5.x.
