I'm going to try the one way guaranteed to prevent the problem from
occuring, which is to start a packet-trace for the http port, and see
what really happens.

One way of checking to see how much of this is queue problems would be
to set the tcp flag that doesn't handshake connections until accept is
really called, and use TLI to log both the initial connection request
and the actual reciept. The downside of this is that it involves the use
of TLI, which is AT&T's Wisdom teeth for your computer.
