It seems that whenever I close a socket, Socket>>waitForDisconnectionUntil: always times out, leaving the status as ThisEndClosed. It wasn't clear to me from the C code included in the image how this was happening, but there seemed to be some work in progress in this area. For now, I have commented out the #waitForDisconnectionUntil. Does this seem reasonable? Does anyone have a better idea?

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!
