pre-2.0.30 SOMAXCONN Value

Running 2.0.pre-30, I tried increasing SOMAXCONN (linux/socket.h) to 256
and 512 in include/linux/socket.h, as I was running out of sockets at the
default 128. That caused the network to hang; I could not get the Web
server to respond. Going back to 128 got it all working.

Should it be possible to increase SOMAXCONN, or does that interact
with/break the socket hash stuff? It looks like there are a few hardcoded
128 values in the pre-2.0.30 patch, but I'm not sure what they do.

Thanks for the work,
