netstat normally attempts to translate numeric IP addresses back into 
host names. This might take a long time, and may sometimes fail. To make 
sure that this is the problem, you may want to try netstat -n (tells 
netstat to display numbers, so it doesn't spend time on translations).

I think there was a discussion of this on this list not too long ago. It 
simply means that connections were changing while netstat was reading the 
structures in the kernel. netstat does not lock any of the structure it 
reads, so from time to time they'll change while being used.
