It seems that you have found a valid concern in mod_interchange.
I've made a change that should fix the problem.  Please take a look
at the new mod_interchange-1.25, which you'll find on my RTFM site.
I'll run a few more tests on the code before committing to the
Interchange 4.9 CVS archive.

I'm reasonably sure that Apache would have cleaned up the open socket
for us, but I agree that it's best that the module does it anyway.

Thanks for reporting your findings.  I'll be interested to hear any
other comments you have.
