Re: Listening sockets not always closing?


Hate to reply to my own message, but I missed something...

It appears that the test program fails with up to Windows 2000 SP4.
Windows XP still works. My observation that SP3/SP4 worked was based on
some production code where I first saw this problem, not the minimal test
code I posted here. Sorry for the confusion.

Can anyone with Win 2000 SP4 reproduce this?
Thanks
