Yes, I noticed that. As I said, I think that ab simply aborts all
pending connections as soon as the tests are finished.

Yes, looks so. I think one ab thread is firing up new requests as fast
as possible while another one is counting them and stops all as soon
as enough are there. Something like that.

Have a nice vacation!

I don't think it is necessary to investigate this further unless you
still see problems with mod_lisp/TBNL. But I won't stop you from doing
it... :)

Good catch. I've changed that.

Cheers,
