Recv blocks forever after close

[Ignasi Villagrasa]

Hi everyone,

I'm developing a multi-threaded server based application and I've 
noticed a problem when closing a socket file descriptor from a thread 
and the corresponding recv socket function is running in other thread. 
Instead of returning, as documented, the function remains locked.

I'm using Red Hat 7.2, and my program uses pthreads.

I have found the same problem in

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-glibc/2001-05/msg00089.html

two years ago. But this question has no reply.

So I'd like to know if the problem is solved, and if I should apply some 
patch.

Thanks in advance,

Ignasi Villagrasa.
