Hi Michael,

I had a similar problem. I solved as follows: I have an extra
"shutdown-task" which is only responsible for "unblocking" the sockets
by calling "WSACancelBlockingCall" (OK windows only, but I think there
should be a similar function even on *x systems). This works fine, all
blocking calls are unblocked with the return code WSAEINTR.
