Oh, right. The error message is wrong. There should be a difference between the client_limit having actually reached, and an error condition (e.g. out of fds) that causes a process to temporarily stop listening for new clients (= setting "available client count" to 0, which makes master think it has used up all of its clients). I'll fix it to v2.1.1.
