🗒️ Summary of this message: Two bitcoinds run on the same system: a hub node relays network activity and a work node manages mining. The hub node has been dying, causing issues.
📝 Original message:On Eligius, I have two bitcoinds running on the same system:
- a hub node, which is dedicated to relaying network activity between the
hundreds of nodes Eligius peers with
- a work node, which is dedicated to managing mining, and only ever connects
to the hub node

Lately, the hub node has been dying (yet to determine cause; I haven't changed
anything recently), leaving the work node with no connections. The work node,
of course, starts responding to getworks with "not connected" messages.
Strangely enough, the sockets used for these are never cleaned up properly,
and eventually overflow the system's socket limits.

I am using a very heavily patched 0.3.23, so this bug could be related to one
of those patches (perhaps the threaded JSON-RPC?), but I felt like I should
mention it somewhere else just in case before 0.4 final got released. I have
not tried to reproduce it on an unpatched bitcoind yet, and am extremely busy
lately so I might not get a chance before you guys finish 0.4.
