Not after postmaster start, so passing it to the initial listen()
shouldn't be a problem.

The other concern I had could be addressed by making the listen
parameter be MIN(MaxBackends, PG_SOMAXCONN) where PG_SOMAXCONN
is set in config.h --- but now we could make the default value
really large, say 10000. The only reason to change it would be
if you had a kernel that barfed on large listen() parameters.

Have we beat this issue to death yet, or is it still twitching?

regards, tom lane
