Hi Duncan,

As you can see in the else thread, I have been trying to follow this 
problem, but there's one thing I do not understand:

WHY does the client not notice that the connection is broken?

 From what I understand, shouldn't the server properly close it's TCP 
connection to the client when it's shutting down. Shouldn't the client 
notice this disconnect?

Explanation (or link to some docs) highly appreciated!

cheers,
Martin
