How large is your buddy list?

What is the parent child relationship for these.

Do they go away if you do a "service network restart".

Does "netstat -a" and "lsof" tell you anything.
I have the feeling that these are connections to the server 
watching for individuals that have disconnected from the net
or something strange.   

Do they consume much memory?
