EventEmitter memory leak detected

[Kevin Systrom]

I've seen on the board you've addressed this very warning a bunch of
times... but it seems like it got fixed in the past. We've got a new
site up using your stuff http//demo.instagram.com and we're seeing
10-15 req/sec and every now and then it seems to poop out with the
following warning:

(node) warning: possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11
listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit.

Our code for the server is open source, so if you're curious to have a
look: http://github.com/Instagram/Realtime-Demo

If there's any other data I can provide to help debug, I'd gladly do
it. Thanks for the socket.io stuff -- very cool.

Issued confirmed, I have it too.

This affects only the XHR transports. It's not really a memory leak because upon a full disconnect the connection gets cleared,

but I'm going to fix it regardless.

Seems like this was fixed here
https://github.com/LearnBoost/Socket.IO-node/pull/161
and merged on 3/30/2011

Thanks!

Any update on this, I am still receiving this error for XHR
transports.
