Well, I'm afraid there is another one in unp_pcblist() (uipc_usrreq.c). 
  Same story.  After that I searched the whole kernel sources for 
'_pcblist', but it turned out that tcp_pcblist() and unp_pcblist() are 
the only places that had been overlooked.  At least as far as functions 
named '*_pcblist' are concerned ...
