Lots of FIN_WAIT_1 TCP Connections and deadlock in zoneli state

[Lin Jui-Nan Eric]

Hi All,

I am running squid as reverse proxy on FreeBSD 7.0-R amd64.
After running for a while (~ 8 hours), the throughput degrades to very
very low rate.
I found the squid is in "zoneli" state and is already a bug report on
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=106317

But after more investigation, I found there are lots of TCP
Connections in FIN_WAIT_1 and never close.

# netstat -an | grep FIN_WAIT_1 | wc -l
     823
# netstat -an | grep FIN_WAIT_1 | head

Is there a timeout timer for the FIN_WAIT_1 state? Thank you for any
suggestions!
