I had this once on a deployed image but can more easily reproduce it
right now.

The symptom:
A Process is stuck reading from a socket while data is available.

$ netstat -np | grep gst
tcp       20      0 127.0.0.1:48944         127.0.0.1:3002         
ESTABLISHED 21642/gst

This happens on this code:

Eval [
  1 to: 100 do:[:each | | socket |
      socket := Sockets.StreamSocket
          remote: 'localhost' port: 3002.
      socket next.
      socket close.
  ].
]

it occurs with 3.2.4+ from the stable-3.2 branch.
