Comment:

 On second thought, let's not inform potential attackers any more than we
 have to. Just rudely disconnecting is the safest thing to do when someone
 is being rude in sending you bogus requests longer than you're willing to
 accept. It's a security setting after all!

 It's unfortunate for the clients that accidentally cross the limit.
