STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Rare occurrence.
Hard to reproduce. It happened only once in our environment where the application hanged and there is no consistent procedures identified to reproduce.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
SSL Socket should get releases after SOTimeOut.

ACTUAL -
SSl Sockets are not released after SOTimeOut. and it caused application hung.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced rarely.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
Not available
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Force restart of the application to  release the sockets.
