I thought that they would only cause a limited pool size
(max open channels), but I see now that
RFC4960, sec 5.1.1:
After the association is initialized, the valid outbound stream
identifier range for either endpoint shall be 0 to min(local OS,
remote MIS)-1.
effectively requires the stream identifiers to be reused. Doh!
