Folks,
        I've had a few problems in the last few months with tcp ports 
being kept open loooong after the server that they were connected to had 
been shutdown.  I'm wondering, and I'm probably not asking this 
correctly, if there have been any known problems that have been patched 
that could cause this, or is it just the poor coding in the various 
programs that I've been running?
tcp        0   9364  RedDragon.7326         condor.crawford..2705  FIN_WAIT_1
is one of the connections that is holding open the port that a server was 
running on.  Normally, I'm told such connections give up the ghost after 
several mins.  The same code on a SPARC doesn't seem to have this problem.
Thanks for any info..
Best,
-=Dave
