As long as all of the connection slots aren't used for SSL connections, it should log:

Disconnected: Connection queue full

as some (not yet logged in) client's disconnection reason. It kills the oldest client away. This is actually what v2.0 also does in that situation, it just logs that extra warning. If all of the login processes are busy serving SSL sessions, v1.x logs:

All login processes are in use. You may need to increase login_max_processes_count
