Subject: [PATCH] Reduce the fallback SOMAXCONN value

Related issue: #2407

Motivation:

The current fallback SOMAXCONN value is 3072.  It is way too large
comparing to the default SOMAXCONN value of popular OSes.

Modifications:

Decrease the fallback SOMAXCONN value to 128 or 200 depending on the
current OS

Result:

Saner fallback value
