It means that the number of DB connections that you defined in your
sql.conf is too low for the number of packets your radius processes.

For example we have set up:
        # number of sql connections to make to server
        num_sql_socks = 100

To accomodate for our needs.
Just remember that when you get a lot of customers auth at the same
time (due to for example nas/lac reboot) you get flooded with requests
and then the messages like the ones above might show up in the log.
