I keep wondering why distcc in the first place has a connection orphaned
before it has read all data from it, I guess it should not yet be
speculatively executing anything or so :-). Anyway, there should be RST
due to that data because nobody is going read it after the process in gone 
but since state is still ESTABLISHED, I doubt that tcp_close() was ever 
executed which adds some strangeness.

...I checked /proc/net/tcp output you gave earlier, and indeed, it shows 
1 in sk->sk_ack_backlog of the LISTENing socket at that time.
