I'm not sure that helps. What I see in my tests running with Java 1.1.6
(RMI in earlier levels of Java doesn't reliably shut down its sockets.) is:
One connection from client to server's registry listen port (1099)
One connection from client to server's object listen port (dynamic)
Second connection from client to server's registry listen port
These 3 connections are all active at the same time.
