 What interface are you using
 to run RT via Apache? (Possible answers: 
 mod_fastcgi, mod_fcgid, mod_perl 1.x, mod_perl
 2.x)
 
 That is important
 because a CLOSE_WAIT state indicates that the OS is 
 waiting on a local process (in this case
 multiple Apache httpd 
 processes) to
 recognize that the socket has been closed on the other end
 
 and call close() itself. The Apache core
 doesn't have that problem much, 
 so the
 issue is most likely lurking in whatever module is loaded
 into 
 the httpd process to handle running RT
 proper.
 
 (my bet is that
 you're running a slightly broken mod_perl, but I'm
 
 biased by bad experiences...)
