In a side note, trying to do the "select" trick proposed yesterday to
see if the connection is alive, I've found that the Gnat implementation
has a side effect. It clearly specifies that a special descriptor is
opened with each select_type to allow the abortion of a select. However,
when you closes the select_type, that descriptor is in TIME_WAIT status
(normal, I suppose).
As my "bright" idea was to create a select_type, select on the supplied
socket to be tested with immediate time out, and close the selector
afterwards, that implies that for every test you get a TIME_WAIT. Doing
the test quite frequently (I was in my test doing it once a second or
more!) leaves you quickly with a loooong list of descriptors in
TIME_WAIT status.
FWIW.
