They can't leave open sockets once they terminate. The problem with these are
not sockets left open, the problem is that the test servers are sometimes left
*running* after the test suite is done (and thus they also keep sockets open
etc).

These problems have existed for a very long time and while I certainly would
like to see them fixed, I don't think there's any major problem with having
them around a while more.
