Maybe not, it might help if you elaborated some of the broken places,
I'm probably simply unaware of them.  My apps make very heavy use of
Squeak's Socket with no problems, but last month I upgraded Magma to
use the SocketStream wrapper and only then did I notice this issue
perhaps 2 or 3 times in the last month, and each time when a server
was processing thousands of requests per minute over TCP sockets.
