>From your discription, it sounds as though the server that Squeak is
talking to is not closing the connection properly. I don't know of any
bug in the Mac socket implementation that would cause this to happen.
(There was a recent bug related to socket closing in the Win32
implementation, but it had different symptoms from those you describe.)

What is the server? Is it implemented in Squeak?

It could be merely that you need a longer timeout in the call
to waitForDisconnectionUntil:.

I don't think commenting out the waitForDisconnectionUntil: is a good
long-term solution; it could easily cause other problems.

Hope this helps!
