Socket count continues to increase with no real socketIO clients

There are ~10K open sockets whereas actual socket count is only less than 10. In off-peak hours, where there's no traffic, the socket count is still ~10K.

There's a burst of socket connections after every few seconds in chat server logs.

Most, but not all, of such sockets are closed after a few seconds causing connection leakage.
