Funny how all of you seem to be bitten by the bug while I couldn't
reproduce it on Solaris/OSX/Feisty :-)

For the record, there was several hundreds sockets left in a
listen state, so, I really think it was worth merging too.

I updated to gutsy (lost some hours with a CPU at 100% making it
hard to debug the issue (but I digress)).

I can reproduce it now, seems both pretty random while easy to
reproduce, let the fun continues :)
