I don't have the freeware B-47 you are using, but from Alphasim B-47 .cfg as an example:

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed= 155.700
full_flaps_stall_speed= 135.500
cruise_speed= 452.000
max_indicated_speed=456
max_mach=0.875


Exceeding either of these values (in your .cfg) will result in overspeed.
Your speed at any given moment in the sim can change with throttle movement, weather changes and especially wind shifts; that's the usual culprit.

thanks John,
here's mine;

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed=160.000000
full_flaps_stall_speed=128.000000
cruise_speed=478.698930
max_indicated_speed=690.476563
max_mach=0.950000

the max_indicated_speed is a lot higher, as is Mach.
I never came near 690
and the best Mach I could get was 0.94
and that was only once.
mostly I ran at 0.92

I'm not complaining, just trying to understand.
