It seems that the server operates fine off a low number of threads ( usually the default starting value of 5 ) and then it'll eventually start creating tons of the dropping dup auth packet, at which point it tries to open more threads, which recieve the same error.. and so on and so forth.. till it eats all the available threads on the machine..
