I noticed another mysterium, at least for me. I'd highly appreciate if
somebody could give me a hint how I can understand the following lines

sonewconn: pcb 0xfffff801b85907a8: Listen queue overflow: 151 already in
queue awaiting acceptance (1 occurrences)
sonewconn: pcb 0xfffff801b85907a8: Listen queue overflow: 151 already in
queue awaiting acceptance (220 occurrences)

I have never seen them before and I guess it's related to my other queue
mysterium.
They occured not during tests, so not during artificial (high) load, but
regular low avarage load.

Thanks in advance,

-Harry
