Hi all,

I suppect that there is bug in both kernel 2.2.19 and 2.4.5.
The situation is as follow.

One server socket created and listening, blocking on select(),
once a client connect to that port, there is another thread in server
side issues a close() to the new connection. 
After the client close the connection. The connection in server side will
stuck on CLOSE_WAIT forever until the program being killed.

I have attached a program to trigger the bug.
The program is written base on a bugtraq post on this link:

  http://archives.indenial.com/hypermail/bugtraq/1999/January1999/0015.html

This is the output of "netstat -anop":

tcp   1   0 127.0.0.1:52882   127.0.0.1:1031  CLOSE_WAIT   -  off (0.00/0/0)
tcp   1   0 127.0.0.1:52882   127.0.0.1:1030  CLOSE_WAIT   -  off (0.00/0/0)

You can see that there is no owner and the timer is off.

I encounter this in my server program and the CLOSE_WAIT thread eat up
all the resource as it cannot be released.

I have tried this on kernel 2.2.16, 2.2.19, 2.4.5 and using
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0), all this have such problem.

I am new to kernel hacking. I don't know whether this is a bug or not. 
Please correct me if I am doing something wrong and forgive my poor
description.  :)

Thanks
Dicky
