Hello Peter,

I run 1.2.13 kernel so I did the above and I do see a socket at TIME_WAIT 
state after a telnet to localhost, port 80.  Few minutes later, the 
TIME_WAIT indication disappears.  Presumably, the socket times out and 
closes by itself.

The version information outputted by httpd -v in my system is as follows:
NCSA httpd version NCSA/1.3.

Censored output of netstat -a is reproduced below.

I hope that the above is of help to you.
