Got it, thanks. That explains the "operation already in progress
message" from http_load. :) I've increased the client port range and
those messages are gone.
I'm noticing that often there are three sockets bound to www port that
end up in a state of CLOSING for nearly ten minutes after running the
test. (Their send queue is equal to 316.)
Is it unusual to have such a long timeout?
