Afaics there's no guarding being added in the whole series against
the dumping taking overly long. Doing this for 4,000 ports is
already risky, but doing this for up to 256,000 ports is clearly
too much. So without adjustment the 'e' debug key becomes
unusable particularly on large systems (where the eventual need
for it may be highest, as having the highest chances of running
into problems).
