Andreas,
the point is that while the connection is in TIME_WAIT state the
socket cannot be reused (see the links below).

This might be a problem, since they increase the number of open
file (& connections). Remember that by default linux allows only
1024 open files.
A connection in state TIME_WAIT is closed (no further packets will
be sent and no packets except "wandering" packets are expected to
be received). Therefore there is no file descriptor associated to it.
