>Description:
On a machine running a daemon with over 2000 sockets open and being used at the same time, some sockets which were outgoing connections linger indefinitely. When the daemon with the open sockets is terminated, and all sockets are closed, these sockets still sit indefinitely. Network traffic for a daemon with many open sockets slows to a crawl. Eventually, the machine is unusable and has to be rebooted (usually this takes about two days).

from ulimit -a:
open files                  16424

>How-To-Repeat:
Run a daemon on your machine which accepts over 500,000 connections per day, and attempts to make two connections for each incoming connection? :)
>Fix:
Unknown.. reboot!
