Are the connections sticky? I've just run it on my cygwin installation and
the number of connections is fixed. There is a new connection every second
but the old disappears before the new is created.
If you experience a different behaviour than it must be a problem with
ZoneAlarm or an other program installed on your host.

I'm directing the message to the cygwin list since this problem also occurs
with a plain small cygwin program and is not bound to Cygwin/X at all.

No problem. This was just small socket programming praxis.
