I have done some google searching and I believe the culprit might be
gnutella. Take a look at this search (try google's cached files since the
servers are no longer up)

http://www.google.com/search?hl=es&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=6352+gnutella&lr=

You will see that the listing for many servers/clients in the network are
usually port 6346 [1]. But it seems port 6352 is also used sometimes.

/tmp/jfs/gtk-gnutella-0.91.1$ grep 634 src/*.c
src/gnet_property.c:guint32  listen_port     = 6346;
src/gnet_property.c:guint32  listen_port_def = 6346;
