George,

g> Windows apps hang onto memory used in opening a
g> socket. It is a well known problem.

I'd like to get references to it as it's the first time that I hear
this and it worries me a bit. I have developed many socket-based
windows applications, both client- and server-side, and by casual
looking I haven't observed memory leaks. I'd like to know if I have to
take a closer look. ;-)

Ciao
