Cart does not close mysql connections?

Hi,

I just received an email letter from my host telling me that our zen-cart user "DB_SERVER_USERNAME" does not close connections to mysql database "DB_DATABASE".

DB_Names are specified in configure.php

That causes overload to the server!

They asked me to fix that problem. And I need to fix it as soon as possible.

Any ideas where should I start at investigating this problem?
And is this a common/known problem? I am using zen cart version 1.3.8a.

Look at the "Similar Threads" at the bottom of the page, like this Zen Cart Not Closing DB Connections URGENT HELP

It should not be happening under normal circumstances, as Vger mentions.

Your real problem is that you need to upgrade to v1.3.9 so you don't get hacked.
