[Icecast-dev] can't access admin webpages with N-1 listeners active

[sci-fi at hush.ai]

Hi,

Stumbled into a problem with icecast-2.3.1 (a recent
daily svn snapshot).

We have 6 spec'd in the xml for the (one and only)
mountpt's <mount/max-listeners>.  The <limit/clients>
near the top of the xml is also set to 6 (as seen on the
sample xml dists).

When we get up to N-1 listeners, we cannot access the
admin webpages from localhost or anywhere-else-host.

Here's the snip from our icecast's error.log:

[...]

See?  After the listener count gets up to 5 (which
equals N-1 (6-1) in our case), we can't see what is
going on.

When the (N-1)th listener drops off (back to 4 in our
case), we _can_ finally reach the admin pages.

Icecast2 seems to have no provisions for "reserved IP
addys" such as there is for sc_serv; I always make
sc_serv read a file with 127.0.0.1 in it "just in cases
like this".

Y'all dig?  :)  Might there be a fix for this somehow,
please?  Should we set a higher <limit/clients> at the
top of the xml?  (Changing that would require a kill,
too, wouldn't it)

Thank you.
