From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i586; en-US; m15) BuildID: 2000041505 mozilla does not seem to be closing its local sockets. Leaving connections in CLOSE_WAIT state is pointless and might be a waste of resources (since it doesn't seem to timeout, and the only way to make them all get to close is quitting mozilla) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a xterm window with netstat -tc running 2. Start mozilla and browse some pages Actual Results: Lots of connections are left open in CLOSE_WAIT state which doesn't seem to go away. Expected Results: Closed the local socket so they turn to CLOSE and then go away.
This causes mozilla to kill winsock on Win98 after a while. Bug 36660 describes how. I'm going to mark this as affecting all platforms and operating systems, and bump up the severity. Bug 36660 says that on Win98, you often end up with lots of ESTABLISHED in addition to CLOSE_WAIT.
