Does a pipe take a socket ... ?

For those that remmeber the other day, I had that swzone issue, where I ran out 
of swap space?  I just about hit it again today, swap was up to 99% used ... I 
was able to get a ps listing in, and there were a whack of find processes 
running ...

Now, I think I know which VPS they were running in, so that isn't a problem ... 
and I suspect that the find was just part of a longer pipe ... I'm just curious 
if those pipes would happen to use up any of those sockets that are 
'evaporating', or is this totally unrelated to sockets?

Thanks ...
