+Subject: [PATCH] fix file descriptor leak in
+ ras-report.c:setup_report_socket()
+
+A running instance of rasdaemon was seen to hit the limit on open file
+descriptors. Most of the the descriptors were AF_UNIX STREAM sockets.
+At the same time the limit was hit, attempts by rasdaemon to open the
+SQLite database started failing with SQLite error 14.
+
+This patch avoids leaking a socket file descriptor each time the connect()
+call fails.
