Description Ghee Teo 2002-08-30 16:10:07 UTC 
Lots of stock ticker users found that their stock ticker applet stopped
working after a couple of days. The root cause seemed to have cause by
/usr/gnome/lib/gtik2_applet2 leaks file descriptor.

On further investigation, I found that the current socket is not closed 
whenever stock ticker came across an error, typically this is 405.

The fix is actuallyin libhttp.so in the function, make_request().
After the call to create_handle(), if the return value is okay then
make socket_buffer = NULL; otherwise, we want to close the socket
further down the function.
