This change should help with these (rc28):

	* src/: auth/auth-worker-server.c,
	  lib-auth/auth-server-connection.c: If net_connect_unix() fails,
	  assume also that ECONNREFUSED may be a temporary failure. It can
	  happen if we exceeded the listener's backlog.

Auth worker processes anyway don't matter here, the connections are  
accpted by the master dovecot-auth process. You could increase them  
from count setting inside auth block, but I'm not sure if that could  
cause other problems.
