Description Luke-Jr 2013-04-05 14:07:42 UTC

Upstream libcURL 7.29.0 has a regression socket leak in some usages.
Specifically, at least the usage in net-misc/bfgminer for failed HTTP pools never disconnects the socket, and eventually runs out of file descriptors.
The bug was introduced after 7.28.1, and fixed in git commit e7c56a8406d0d751b8afc1daf2dcbb67c763c465
