What application is that you are running? I think what you thought were recovered socket are more new sockets after a cleanup... now if you think or see an issue here it can be a question of time out ( from the other side...) where your remote hosts believed the connection lost and closed it... The issue in this case is it opens a new one again, and after some time you find yourself short of sockets as you are wating for the cleanup process to complete
So you should look at the application side if there isnt something that needs tuning...
