[Icecast]client connections seems high

[Joel Ebel]

I'm not talking about the client_connections variable, which does 
precisely what you describe.  I'm referring the the clients value. 
Which doesn't increment.  It goes up and down.  And it's always 113 more 
than the sum of the clients of each stream.
