I should ask google prior to post nonsense.

DNS is a UDP based service. Anyone (cups?) opens a UDP-port to ask for its server (localhost) -- I captured this using tcpdump. That's why this port is opened, but why isn't it closed when the server's hostname is resolved? It is quite unusual to accumulate open ports like this isn't it? Konqueror has to resolve far more names than e.g. cups, but there aren'n any leftover ports. 

IMO, this is at least a bug in terms that these ports should be closed without terminating the entire app.
