Sorry, the stats I was talking about are present in CURRENT only:

netstat -sp tcp | grep TIME-WAIT
        3 times connection in TIME-WAIT responded with ACK
        0 times connection in TIME-WAIT was actively recycled
        0 times connection in TIME-WAIT responded with RST

I will merge it to stable/13 today, so that those running 13 can check it out.
