Problem with zabbix_sender

[kayjay]

I'm using V1.8.2 zabbix and have several hosts that use zabbit_sender to send data to the server. This works great for a while (couple of days) then the sever stops receiving. When I check ton the host I see that zabbix_sender is returning this when I use the -vv option "zabbix_sender [31130]: DEBUG: Send value error: Cannot connect to [172.18.20.67:10051] [Connection refused]"

Is there any known problem?

Couldn't be that there are too much open connections/sockets? When zabbix_sender is launched too frequently (eg every 5 sec), this could be the problem.

I guess it's a possibility. I should reproduce it at take a look, then report back.
