AFAIR, it's due to the data in the kernel changing whilst netstat is
still doing it's bit. Normally this happens as netstat is bogged down
with doing reverse name lookups in the DNS. David (Greenman) made a
comment the last time this came up that it's fixable, but he's bogged
down with 2.1R work at the minute.
