Note that accept()ing a connection *doesn't* create a new port number.
The individual connections are distinguished by the *remote* IP
address and port number.
The initial SYN-without-ACK segment causes an accept() on the original
(listening) socket to complete. Subsequent segments are associated
with a particular socket, and then used to satisfy read()s on that
socket.
