  This patch limits the number of client connections to the new telemetry
socket. The limit is set at 10.

The upper limit is fine, but using System V semaphores is not a good
way to do this. Please consider using some other atomic primitive.

Hi Thomas,

I had contacted Stephen offline for some detail on his suggestion. I thought I would have a patch sent soon after, but it took longer than expected, and I forgot to reply on list.
I have a patch in progress that will hopefully be sent up soon after internal review.

Thanks,
Ciara
