I've had a similar report from Bjoern Zeeb; at first we thought the reason he had stacking up TCP connections was a bug I introduced in 7.x, but it turns out it's because his sshd is wedging in name resolution, and not closing the TCP sockets (which are now visible in netstat in a way they weren't before). We only concluded that it was not a kernel socket bug a day or so ago, so I'm not sure he's had a chance to generate a resolver bug report. He reported that the application appeared to have two connected UDP sockets for name resolution, and one bad name server entry, but that the resolver appeared to be blocked in a read on the UDP socket that didn't have data queued, rather than the one that did. This was all from looking at netstat, and as far as I know, he's not dug into the resolver yet to see what might be happening. I've CC'd Bjoern in case he has further insight or can offer some more suggestions on what might be going on. Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
