All, Jan was reviewing my ssl branch (http://github.com/rnewson/couchdb/tree/ssl) and was curious as to why I had disabled MaxConnections. The short answer is, the newer version of Mochiweb (that supports SSL) no longer supports a configuration maximum number of connections. It used to (and does in CouchDB 1.0) but doesn't any more. The code that accepts sockets has been rewritten, it seems.
