I am working on a script that traps URLs and posts them to Instapaper.com using his API.

In 6.35 I believe everything was functioning (although the script was admittedly still pretty new).

After updating to 7.1 I seem to get a ton of timeouts, but I'm not sure if they're in fact timeouts, because it's difficult for me to troubleshoot. The issue I discovered during troubleshooting is that I cannot open a named socket. I repeatedly get "socket in use".

However when I receive that error, and type /socklist, I am told that no sockets are open. Furthermore, //echo -a $sock(n).status tells me there are insufficient parameters (suggesting that socket doesn't exist).

Because of this erratic behavior I can't really tell if the socket is hung open, or what is really going on.

Any tips/advice would be awesome. For what it's worth I am connecting to the Instapaper URL via SSL on port 443.
