Description:
When max_connections is increased during runtime over it's startup value after certain
number of connections MySQL reports:

Warning: thr_alarm queue is full

How to repeat:
Start mysqld with max_connections=5

SET GLOBAL max_connections=200;

Open new connections untill error message pops up
