Think I figured it out:

netstat -anp | grep 42887
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:42887         127.0.0.1:2087          
ESTABLISHED 13823/gnunet-gtk
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:2087          127.0.0.1:42887         
ESTABLISHED 11647/gnunetd


I saw a connection from local to local, and saw that it was being used by 
gnunetd.  Then it finally occured to me that there might be 2 entries in 
netstat for connections from gnunet-gtk to gnunetd.  I was right, and that 
was what was confusing me so badly.  LOL!  (why are there DOZENS of 
connections between gnunet-gtk and gnunetd?  that's pretty strange)

Thanks for you help, and sorry to waste your time.
