[SR-Users] Kamailio stop to process incoming SIP traffic via TCP.

implemented it. Now the issue has shifted to:

ERROR: <core> [core/tcp_main.c:3959]: handle_new_connect(): maximum
number of connections exceeded: 2048/2048

But not a single TCP connection is active between Kamailio and any
device. Seems this counter for maximum number of connections
now has an issue?
