That stat is incremented if in_pcblookup_connect() fails on the incoming
packet.  I.e. whatever application the packet is for isn't using connected
UDP.

For a while now we've used a hash for unconnected sockets, too, but
I suppose the stat counter was never updated.  In any case, the
lookup_connect, by its very nature, is more efficient than the lookup_bind;
just take a look at the code in in_pcb.c to see why.
