The `backlog' argument to listen() determines how many connections it
will queue pending an accept() call. Every time that you call
accept(), you remove a pending connection from the queue.

1. Whenever you accept() a new connection, increment the counter.
2. Whenever a child process dies, you need to decrement the counter.
This is the part which you are not doing.
3. When the counter reaches the limit, you need to stop calling
accept() until the counter is decremented.
