Original problem below. Thanks to those who responded, but nothing so
far. One point is that I spoke to an engineer for our ecommerce package
(BroadVision), and he said these CLOSE_WAITs are normal, that the NSAPI
module for Netscape keeps the connections on the brink of closing in case
it needs them again, but that this shouldn't affect anything abnormally.

Oh, well.
