accept() has certain non-fatal errors; EMFILE and ENFILE in particular.
It would be a shame if a threaded svnserve tore down all the threads just
because it couldn't allocate another fd. Even a non-threaded daemon
mode svnserve shouldn't exit; it should just log the error and continue;
perhaps more fds will be available in the future.

Brane may have been talking about different cases, though.
