If the netstat agent section contained a line that is not a network connection, for example the text "No updates pending for installation" from another agent plug-in, the "TCP Connection" services crashed with TypeError: SplitIP.__init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'port'.

Lines whose addresses carry no port are now ignored, and the connections of the host are evaluated as usual.
