0.1205 didn't significantly touch SocketFactory or Kernel, so I don't
know what might have changed.
A big flurry of fast connections and a sudden slowdown sounds like
FIN_WAIT_2 getting in the way. Apache has had enough trouble with
this to release a page about FIN_WAIT_2; it's been around for a
long time: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/fin_wait_2.html
Or it may be a SO_MAXCONN problem, where the clients outpace the
server until the system's connection queue fills up.
If it's a bug in POE, though, I'm afraid it's just a happy coincidence
that it's fixed.
