If we're getting more requests than we can handle, we have a serious problem, but there are much better things to do than try to process them all in parallel -- leaving them in the accept backlog or cheaply telling them to go away (http 503) would both be better.

Note that I'm not completely sure that the description of the bug is totally valid any more -- it's not really about a specific URL, it's about a general failure mode.
