seems to be gone. after CLOSE, the conn. soon switches to TIME_WAIT,
which expires later. well, that's just after few minutes uptime, we'll
see how netstat behaves after some days uptime.

btw, just for curiosity, I've been running the unpatched .66, and netstat
would terminate with a "Segmentation fault". The reason surely were the
huge amount of connection that have been left in state CLOSE. allthough
this segfault was caused by a buggy kernel, still netstat could do better
and terminate normally (at least with something like: "malloc: can't get
more memory" or such ...) ... but it isn't really that important...
