[Oberon] AosTCP.Mod

[Thomas Frey]

The table ARRAY contains the heads of linked lists of Connection.
Inside the WHILE loop, the first Connection of the hash table at
position i is finalized. The finalization automatically (via Finalize
--> Discard --> Drop / CloseConnection) removes the Connection form
the linked list, and the next Connection in the list moves to the
list-head ( table[i]).
So the WHILE table[i] # NIL "destructively" traverses the list.
