>Description:
In certain situations [i.e. high volume proxy server] it is necessary to adjust the value of 
SOMAXCONN upward from its default of 128.
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
Two changes are required to allow a statment of 'options "SOMAXCONN=256"' in a
kernel configuration file:

1) SOMAXCONN should be added to the sys/i386/conf/options.i386 file to allow config(8)
to recognise it as a valid option.
2) The statement 
    #define SOMAXCONN 128
in <sys/socket.h> should be bracketed in an #ifndef.....#endif clause.
