Of course, I'm hp-ux and don't have lsof or glance (easily available, maybe on the next upgrade, next month I hope). Didn't really see anything with netstat, it's all net-centric of course. I suspect my middleware, or perhaps the licensing software it uses (flexlm), of dropping stuff in an obscure and rare manner, which was changed from common to rare by fiddling with timeouts for FIN_WAIT_2. I've been trying to change the obscure part. If I could get rid of the problem by simply upping maxfiles, I'd do it, but I don't think I'm anywhere near that.
