I do get them repeating every ten seconds or so, and they don't shut up.
The problem even prevents me from using the port that that socket is not
releasing.

ie, when I telnet or ftp, the socket breaks, and prevents me from from being
able to telnet or ftp again (until I reboot).

The problem occured somewhere between 1.3.66 and 1.3.75. Can someone
narrow it down further?
