Ok, the results are as I described with web sockets disabled.  Better as
in webkit does close file descriptors much quicker however the
fundamental issues of breaching the max-conns limit is still there.

When I launch the browser with all those links at once it opens up about
67 file descriptors and none end up in CLOSED_WAIT initially.  Instead
one sees ESTABLISHED and TIME_WAIT.  In other words when running without
web sockets the inevitable is just postponed a little.  A couple of
quick restarts and webkit exhibits the same crashes.  I do see the same
misrendered pages as described before, even when starting on a fresh
machine (virtually no FDs in use).

For completions sake, this is using webkit 1.4.1 and libsoup 2.34.2 and
I do not see these issues when I used webkit 1.2.x and libsoup 2.32.y.
I also validated that I see these same issues using other browsers such
as epiphany and midori.

I'll be happy to run some additional tests or dig in the code if you
point me in a potential direction.
