Comment (by sjamaan):

 Hi Woodrow,

 Thanks for the bug report and the patch!

 As far as I can see, the code specifically contains a case for the string
 port, there's even a procedure called {{maybe-string-port-length}} which
 obtains the string's length. So the port shouldn't be closed before it
 tries to read.

 There's also a {{test-group}} in the test suite named {{"alist form data
 body with string port"}} which is supposed to test this particular case,
 but of course I wouldn't rule out any bugs. Perhaps you can have a look at
 that and see how it differs from your use case?

 If you are sure it's a bug, I'd appreciate a self-contained sample (or
 better yet, a failing test case as a patch to the test suite) which fails.
