Or lsof ...

ps - the reason for this is usually that a connection abort was caused
internal to the host, as there's no space in the socket's queue and it can't
receive further connections.

Try increasing the timeouts. What likely happens is that a connection is
made by a remove machine or locally - but suddenly, immediately drops.
