Sorry - there's no hope. You gotta reboot the box. Take it from an unhappy
site here that has to reboot our 9x7 box about every other week because of
this problem... And we have our max# set to 2048!!

We're getting close as we speak... *sigh*

TCP_CUR_CONNS = 1663
TCP_MAX_CONNS = 2048

(It does appear to be fixed in 5.5 however...Our 5.5 box doesn't have the
problem.)
