Hi When I add the modules socket and close and use a simple program that only creates a socket and closes it I get the following error in gdb:
gdb: unknown target exception 0xc0000008 at 0x774d12f7 Program received signal ?, Unknown signal. 0x776815de in ntdll!LdrQueryProcessModuleInformation () from C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll (gdb) Single stepping until exit from function ntdll!LdrQueryProcessModuleInformation, which has no line number information. [New Thread 12024.0x27d0] Apparently this happens during close() where in the file sockets.c it closes the socket handle using closesocket() and then the file descriptor using _close(). The call to _close() fails with this signal. According to MSDN after the call to closesocket() all the resources are freed (so why call _close() ?). In MSDN you can see that if you pass a bad fd to _close() it will invoke "the invalid parameter handler" (which is this signal ?) unless a handler is register (I dont see it happening in the gnulib code). What I do is simply comment out the call to _close(). Maybe apply this simple fix to the code ? Thanks, Or
