You can also switch to using the "poll" reactor, which will allow you to
sustain more than 1024 connections.  You should still figure out what is
keeping your connections open and find a way to reap them however, as
this will just delay the problem.  As Glyph suggested an application
level "ping" may help here.

In the mean-time you can switch to the poll reactor by adding "-r poll"
to your twistd command.
