...and I'd have to think about it more carefully, but if dropping the close-fdes call would completely prevent any subsequent test from re-using the fd unsafely before the lingering port is collected, then perhaps that's one potential fix. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org GPG as of 2011-07-10 E6A9 DA3C C9FD 1FF8 C676 D2C4 C0F0 39E9 ED1B 597A GPG as of 2002-11-03 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4
