Err... Well I have a lot of questions then about this whole thing.  What 
is max_index() doing?

                 mode_count_id = max_index(agg_count, slaves_count);

It's indexing up to slaves_count, which is likely to be somewhere around 
2. agg_count() is indexed by the port id. It's likely agg_count was 
intended to be indexed by the slave index and not the port id.
