I've just run it on my cygwin installation and the number of connections is fixed. There is a new connection every second but the old disappears before the new is created. If you experience a different behaviour than it must be a problem with ZoneAlarm or an other program installed on your host. > Is there any work-around for this select problem?

No problem. This was just small socket programming praxis. bye ago NP: Lacrimosa - Alles Lüge -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
