I have found the bug. You were either very unlucky, or running on a very
quiet system. The code was checking to see whether a new connection
could be accepted before looking to see if any processes for old
connections had completed. On a busy system, something else would have
woken the daemon up, and it would have noticed the completion of
previous connections, and adjusted the count, before the new connection
arrived.
This will be fixed in 4.50.
