 I get the following repeating messages :-

 I looked into it and looks like Pidgin is leaking file descriptors while
 using IRC protocol. It looks like, if I ping someone in IRC channel and if
 the person is in IDLE state, Pidgin is leaking file descriptors (Socket).

 [tank:~]$ pfiles `pgrep pidgin` | grep mode | wc -l
      251

 Seem we have a load of AF_UNIX sockets being created. Not really sure what
 they are for and I have noticed a creeping increase of them over time.
