The mystery is solved :) On our server side we have a wrapping object per connected client, which takes care of a few things, amongst which sending keep alives and timing the connection out if needed. If a timeout is detected, the wrapping object is freed, the clientside drops the connection, and this cleans up the socket server-side as well.
This all works well, except for a very occasional event, which could happen when a client timed out and the wrapping object was freed (as normal), and at that very moment a new client connected. At this moment, it could happen that the memory manager instantiated the wrapping object for the new client at exactly the same memory location of the wrapping object which was just freed. If at that moment, the socked of the previous client receive some data before the connection was closed, it triggered it's OnDataAvailable event, which was still set to the old wrapping object, but now of course came out in the new wrapping object. This caused a call to ReceiveStr() on the wrong TCustomWSocket, causing the loop. it took a while to find, but it's finally solved. thanks for everybody thinking with me.
