Re: "Too many open files" and reboot fail advice

 From the 5.2.3 Release Notes 
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107873
wotaskd and monitor leave sockets in a CLOSE_WAIT state
  Apple Reference 3535483
  ISSUE:  Under some circumstances, a socket leak occurred when http 1.0 
was used. We think a majority of the CLOSE_WAIT problems pertaining to 
wotaskd and monitor are addressed.
  RESOLUTION:  This issue has been resolved.

I'm pretty sure that it was the 5.2.3 release that fixed this for us.

I'm also interested in what you think is broken in WO 5.2.3 for 
JavaClient.  I know someone using Java Client and WO 5.2.3 and am not 
aware of them having any issues to it (well, other than documentation 
and completeness of implementation :-).
