I think I may have fixed this. I'm running a version with my fix here,
and it seems OK - in particular, it's immune to jamming the F5 key,
which would kill the distributed version dead.
What I've done is basically a bodge: I've examined what was going
wrong at the lowest level, then made the least changes to fix that.
This isn't always a recipe for long-term happiness, so I'll present my
analysis of what's wrong, and hopefully an "official" fix modulo a
proper understanding of the squeak TCP/IP innards can emerge.
source file sqUnixSocket.c, lines 645 ff:
/* let's assume it's a transient error, and continue to wait
for a connection */
pss->sockError= errno;
pss->sockState= WaitingForConnection;
perror("acceptHandler (ignored)");
aioEnable(pss);
"aioEnable" here should "turn the server socket back on", but it
doesn't:
* the handler isn't set to acceptHandler
* lastSocket isn't set correctly
Essentially, aioEnable isn't the inverse of aioDisable.
Fix: I added this line immediately after those quoted above:
aioHandle(pss, acceptHandler, AIO_RD);
and that seems to work.
regards,
John
