hanging client

[Klunder, J. (Hans) <J.A...@rf...>]

Hi,

I'm running a MessagingDirect Ldap server and a perlldap 0.22 client both on
NT 4. (perl 5.6)

I have a test script that regularly binds to a server and performs some test
queries. It measures the performance of those queries. Every once in a while
the the testscript freezes during a query.

Analysis of the network traffic reveals that the server is sending back an
answer and stops sending data before finishing the answer. 

An answer to a query may contain several LDAP response messages ending in a
response with a resultcode (success etc). The server stops in the middle of
one of the responses. The strange thing is that when it stops it always
stops at the same point in the same response. The particular response is not
even completed.

E.g. if the result contains 7 responses it always stops at the same point in
response 5.

The client has acked every packet so far so there should be no reason for
the server to stop answering. The server itself continues processing and
logs that the result has been sent.

Any hints on:
 a) how to fix this behaviour ?
 b) how to fix the client so it times out (it seems timeouts are not handled
properly on NT) ?

Thanks in advance,

Hans Klunder
