I dislike having to workaround operating system bugs. If the function
misbehaves, I would prefer to see the OS being fixed, than Python trying to
guess which value is supposed to work or not.
int listen(int sockfd, int backlog);
backlog type is an int: its maximum value is INT_MAX. If the kernel rejects
values larger than 65535, the kernel and/or the libc should reject such value.
