>Description:

	rpcbind uses lots of stream connections, where as portmap does not.
	lukem asked me to send-pr this.

	he says that it appears that for each service that registers 
	that there's at least 3 FDs opened, and maybe more if ipv6 is 
	used as well.

	how scaleable is rpcbind as compared to portmap?

>How-To-Repeat:

	fstat | grep rpcbind | wc -l
	netstat | grep /var/run/rpcbind.sock

	(compare to a portmap system which has only two network sockets)

lukem is digging into the rpc code...
