Hi,
I have just been stress testing a system and observed the exact same
behaviour. Unplugging the lan cable from the client caused the server CPU
to go to 100% for approx. 30 seconds, then it returns to normal. The client
had registered to receive event notification.
Platform is NT4, IB6.0.0.627, TCP/IP connection.

I assume the server is trying to send the event to the dead connection, and
busy waiting.
IB still is operational during this time, though slower.

Can someone provide the fix for this?

TIA
John
