gweather-applet eats up file descriptors

Hello,
It seems that every time gweather-applet2 updates it's weather data, it
consumes 4 file descriptors (according to lsof). It never seems to give
them back until the process is killed. This is a big problem for me as
I tend to stay logged in for days at a time, and eventually there are no
more file descriptors available to new processes, which wreaks all kinds
of havoc as you can imagine. Last time I saw this problem, lsof
reported over 2700 open files belonging to gweather-applet2 (almost half
of all those on my system). for the record, this is up-to-date ports on
5.1-RELEASE.
Thanks,
Brian
