It was a leak in pulling xml data off of an http source.  Sockets weren't being closed so if you made ~1000 calls filemaker refused to pull more and gave a parsing error.

We reported a couple of weeks before 12 came out and it seems fixed in that but because we were completely unready to move to 12 and they had no motivation to fix it for 11.  It was fixed in 12.

The plugin lists all sockets opened by filemaker and closes all of the ones over 100(iirc) that are http connects.
