The 'Connection refused' is coming out of the "real" OS on the
machine, so there's not much ANTS could be doing about it (unless its
keeping too many dangling connections open elsewhere).

I thought ANETD-managed EEs weren't supposed to open real connections
anyway (getting all their packets via stdin).  Or has that changed?

Several threads (8 I think) are created for each flow, most of those
threads are never used, so if there are several flows on the Node,
there will probably be a bunch of dormant threads.  The number 8, if
you hadn't guessed already, is a hack.
