Historically nginx worker stops accepting new connections for a 
while if there are less than 100 connection structures available 
(to make sure that already accepted connections may finish it's 
work - since connection structures are used for proxy etc).

In 0.7.18 this threshold was changed from constant one to 
worker_connections/8 to make sure that even workers configured 
with less than 100 workers_connections can accept new connections 
normally.

This shouldn't affect typical configurations (worker_connections > 
1024).
