Thank you.

I have only taken a brief look, but so far it looks like the problematic 
sockets are not participating in any ICAP activity. That implies they 
are possibly TCP connections which never complete their opening 
sequence, or at least the result of connection attempts does not make it 
back to the ICAP code somehow.
