I, also, get this error... have had it sporadicly now since the early RC's.. and now on gold, and still the errors.
My host has upped his connections to over 1000, but there's still only two people hosted here on what is not a virtual host... there's 2 users on the box.
Could someone from the phpBB support team please post in here advising us all on a good approach to ascertaining what all these ?unclosed connections? are and how to diagnose where they are coming from.
I have reasonably advanced linux knowledge, but I'm lost here.. but surely someone in the phpBB support team has the ability to advise us all on a sound approach to fault finding and resolving this issue.. it has the capacity to damage phpBB's reputation, when, indeed, I accept it may be a problem that requires server maintenance.
OK, so I have full access to the server... how do we go about sorting this out? Please?
Maybe santa will bring us all the answer.
Hopefully this issue gets some attention.
I am considering such extreme solutions as moving to a host by myself (still connected to the intermenets, but uno), upping the max connections to mysql's suggested absolute recommended max. of 5000, though I don't know how well that would travel on the server... also, if it comes to it, researching what tools there are to port posts etc from phpbb3 to other CMSs.. that's right, I'm prepared to move away from bb if this sort of problem is expected to be ignored on a support forums... which it appears to be.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FOLKS!
