[uClibc]file descriptor (socket) leakage

I have a system with embedded linux (uclibc 0.9.16, kernel 2.4.20) and I run 
freeswan on it (1.99). Problem is that freeswan ends up with 1024 open 
sockets, which makes it to stop working [although it is still running]. 
What do you think, what may be the source of the problem?

I have a reaseon to believe that socket stays unclosed every time whet it is 
open toward interface of the system itself (no matter you call close()), 
but I cannot say for sure.

Does anyone have the similar problem? I doubt on uclibc as a source of the 
problems.
