Thank you very much Martin for all these details. I will take a look at all
this soon. Don't worry, I won't complain about the bugs (though I may report
them), and I understand that this is not production-ready. My first goal was to
be able to report statistics about number of established, syn_recv, close_wait
and time_wait connections without killing the machine.

Cheers,
Willy
