I've tried this a few times here for on-demand relays on rc3 but I don't
get the incorrect listeners value.  I get what I should expect, I've
committed a patch to maintain the listener peak value though.

If you get this reliably enough then can you send me the xml and error
log (level 4) showing the problem.
