Comment(by nickm):

 A UDP transport would solve the problem for XP relays, though running a
 busy exit would remain tricky.  XP bridges will probably stay just fine.

 Reportedly, people who want to do bittorrent on these versions of windows
 have been known to do binary patching to raise or remove the limit.  We
 might want to suggest this to busy Windows relays, but I don't think we
 should even imagine doing it automatically.

 Do we know to what extent (if any) this half-open connection limit exists
 on later versions of Windows?
