Bamboo / tomcat consume endless IP connections

Question

I have a new installation of Bamboo, and have just hooked it up to a GIT-style repository.

Now, the system slowly consumes more and more TCP/IP connections, with many hanging in "CLOSE WAIT" status until the server can get no more connections (around the 500 connection point) and a reset occurs.  Given that I'm the only current user, and all I'm trying to do is turn on remote agent support, I suspect a problem.  Has anyone seen anything like this?

Database connection string issue.

This turned out to be an issue with the database connection string - the database was running in a fail-over mode, but specifying failover parameter caused problems with the connection.
