Your server thinks it's talking to 10,000 clients, but half of them vanished hours ago - welcome to TCP state hell. Connection states like CLOSE-WAIT and FIN-WAIT can pile up like zombies, consuming memory until servers crash mysteriously. One netstat command reveals the hidden connection chaos happening right now on your system.
