I am occasionally getting  the following error "A remote host refused an 
attempted connect operation" when my client program tries to connect. From 
what I have read this is caused by exceeding the backlog on the listen() 
api.  Is there anything else that can cause this error?  I have the 
backlog parameter set to 400 with 1000 clients running this application. 
It doesn't seem likely that it would exceed a backlog of 400.  Is there 
any way I can see what is happening on the host besides adding logging to 
my listener program?  Thanks.
