aha! that'd be my system.. check this out:
elfie:~$ netstat Active Internet connections Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (State)
tcp 0 0 elfie.wtower.com:1848 ix.ix.netcom.com:pop3 CLOSE tcp 0 0 elfie.wtower.com:1844 ix.ix.netcom.com:pop3 CLOSE tcp 0 0 elfie.wtower.com:1841 ix.ix.netcom.com:pop3 CLOSE tcp 0 0 elfie.wtower.com:1823 ix.ix.netcom.com:pop3 CLOSE
(er.. one additional gets stuck in CLOSE every 5min [that's teh interval for popclient])
all the dead sockets poof when i kill popclient and restart it (i now have that as a cron job on the hour)

diffs: i run libc.so.5.4.12, gcc 2.7.2, ppp as a module.

before i stuck the cron job in to restart the popclient, these dead sockets would linger until my connection died.
'kay bye. Yakko [again, Chris is too lazy to change the sig..]
