High amount of items in socket.manager.closed

[kitek]

Hi, I have a question about socket.manager.closed object.
What is it for?
I count items in that way:

this.closed =  Object.keys(socket.manager.closed).length;

and after several hours I got something like that:

After reaching approximately 55k items application does not want to establish new connections.
Why in manager.js at line 429 you dont delete item instead of assign an empty array to it?

Im testing this on socket.io: v0.7.9 and v.0.8.7.

that's seems a server bug
