I'm not sure our backlog can provide what he wants. From reading his mails, he 
wants to limit a listening port to allow only 1 connection at a time, thus 
denying new connections until the first one is closed.

However, our backlog implementation limits the accept queue, thus allowing 
unlimited simultaneous connections if the application accepts them fast enough. 
He would thus end up with 1 active connection and 1 connection queued in the 
accept-queue.

I'm not too familiar with other OSes, but I think we're pretty much standard 
here?
