I'm afraid there is currently no way to do this. We call listen() with
SOMAXCONN, which defaults to 128 on most Unixes. We could make that
value configurable since SOMAXCONN is no longer an hard limit on several
systems including Linux, so please open a feature request [1] if you
think it's worth it.

This is an unrelated setting, controlling the number of connections we
are willing to queue in our internal pipe.
