#1 Error while connecting

[Andreas Baier]

Hi,

after starting the server I made the following requests
./client 192.168.0.1 1 hallo
./client 192.168.0.1 1 hallo
./client 192.168.0.1 1 hallo <-- this one fails

The server takes only 2 requests, the third fails.

regards, andreas

I forgot: It fails with the error message "ERROR while
connecting"

The client gets no response

I figured some things out:

- the error occures in the get_connection method
- the call to the accept(..) method fails. As reason, errno is
set to "invalid argument".
-accept(..) is setting this errorcode if the socket passed to it
is not listening

I could not fix this problem, because I don't know why this
socket isn't listening.

@frosch03 - can you check this out?

Hi,

this is a know'n problem. It seem to be not a softwareproblem,
then an operating system problem. I don't know how to solve
this, but im looking for a solution and post it here if i know
more.

greetings

I made another experience with this bug: It does not happen
on all machines.

On my test and development machine, where the display is
connected the problem occurs. (linux from scratch - kernel
2.4.21)

But on my workstation PC (suse 8.0 - kernel 2.4.18), it does
not appear!

On which kernel version do you have this bug?

regards,

Andreas
