All of the queue runners are busy (i.e. the load exceeds the maximum
concurrency that you configured things to run with), so the queue server
logs the fact and drops the message into the queue to be picked up by the
next idle runner.

There is actually a condition (which I believe is quite rare) that will
cause this to happen when all of the queue slots were full but then all of
the runners exited.  We go through noting their deaths and run out of slots
without starting up a new runner.

Is this happening to you often?  Do you have runners working at the time?
