The following reply was made to PR bin/5109; it has been noted by GNATS.

This would IMHO constitute a better approach. Do you mean just setting maxproc and letting the fork fail? If so that's evil cause the client gets no useful information on why the connection failed. At any rate, I did my change in 5 minutes and it works for me. If you want to spend more time to do something better go ahead. If you think my change is an ugly hack then don't commit it (and add a more detailed description of what you mean to the gnats PR so the next person that wants this can do it "right").
