Well, this is a strange one. I open a socket in a parent process, bind it and listen. I set the socket to close-on-exec with the FD_CLOEXEC flag. A child process is spawned, which doesn't inherit the socket. I then close the server socket in the parent process. For a laugh, I attempt to connect to the port associated with the server socket. I would expect this connection request to fail, since I just closed the socket. It doesn't.
The attached test case illustrates this.
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks for your help.
Martin
