I used before 1.0.12 and did not experienced the socket leaks.

Thanks, that is what I was doing, editing the file with nano. :)

We are using the default openssl version available in CentOS 5.8.
I could look into that but we are talking hundreds of thousands of
servers still using 0.9.8e.
Personally I'm not comfortable yet moving to CentOS 6.2. I will create
an openssl-1.0.1 RPM for CentOS 5.8 and test it on a development server,
then move it into production. Still, I don't recall noticing any SSL
errors on previous Nginx version (1.0.12).
