Logining in with the new yggdrasil login system fills up the computer's socket buffets thus rendering almost any program not running unable to start such as a new tab on your internet brower.
How to reproduce:
Log into your minecraft account many many times.
My Current Fix:
Restarting the computer if this issue happens.
I am unable to show any pictures as any screen capture program will fail or just not run if this issue happens.

If there is a bug in the login code that can cause a loop or a bunch of half opened sessions then it IS a MC issue. OP, can you confirm if it's current with 14w21b? You may want to make further posts explaining the discovered issue if further detail.
I like to see some 'proof' 🙂
How did you determine this was happening and it was caused by the game?
I like to make Minecraft mods using Forge. When I wanted to add Multiplayer support for my single player mod I found it was a pain to do so when using an offline client. To fix this issue, (the offline client) I stripped the code that the launcher uses to log in and made it so that I was logged in to my account automatically when running a new session from Eclipse. After a while I got a message saying Unable to run: Not enough socket buffers! After a few times of getting this message and restarting my computer I found it was the many sessions from logging in so many times that was filling up my computers socket buffers. I had some thoughts that maybe it was my modified log in code but then I decided to try to reproduce the problem with the actual Launcher. Even though it takes an awful long time to do it with the launcher, it still appeared to happen. I am not sure how many people have run into this problem as I am sure not a lot of people spend their day logging in and out of the Launcher just for the fun of it. This is not an issue that needs to be fixed right away as there are probably some bigger and more common issues to fix but this is still an issue and still causes a "mini memory leak." Also as I said in the Description: I am unable to show any pictures as any screen capture program will fail or just not run if this issue happens.
This is NOT a MC issue.
