This error seems to happen after an accept, and it should mean someone
tried to connect to you on that port, but closed to connection before you
accepted it.

Atm, it gets ignored if you run Linux, I think we should either ignore it
always, or never.

The one about udp pings being dropped would look like this:
udp port recvfrom (nextra.irc.sk): Connection refused

In the source it says: report_error("udp port recvfrom (%s): %s", &me);
I think that we should change it to report something more usefull, like
the other's ip, but the current report_error() doesn't allow you to do
this.
