Package: electricsheep
Version: 2.6.3-1
Severity: normal

I am running electricsheep in xscreensaver. It keeps opening new X clients
without closing the old ones. After one night xrestop shows 224 open
clients, the ones opened by electricsheep having PID '?' and Identifier
'<unknown>'. Eventually they reach the maximal number allowed (usually 255),
with the effect that no other X client can be opened, and the X server eating
up a big deal of system resources. To open a new X client one has to close
another one first or better restart the X server to get rid of all those 
<unknown> clients.

IMHO, this makes the package unusable in this state.
