o.k. SO does that mean that the ports are leaking in the kernel and not my program.Its a redhat 6.2 2.2.12 and 14.
Moreover the port leak is confirmed by the high tcp_bind_bucket value. The question is how can a program(assuming its a bug in the code) possibly occupy more ports than it does connections (including TIME_WAIT ones).
