When including a remote URL...

[...]
<? include('http://www.php.net') ?>
[...]

The socket to the remote server is left in CLOSE_WAIT. Eventually the Apache process runs out of file descriptors.

This problem doesn't occur with 4.2.3 on Solaris 8.  When all of the file desriptors have been used up, the child process can't include files or lauch external processes e.g. sendmail.

A fix for Bug #21713 went into CVS last night; it will
most likely fix this problem as well.
