Hello, I'm a contributor for the node.js zookeeper module: 
https://github.com/yfinkelstein/node-zookeeper
i'm using zk 3.3.3 for the purposes of this issue, but i have validated it 
fails on 3.3.1 and 3.3.2

i'm having an issue when trying to connect when one of my zookeeper servers is 
offline.
if the first server attempted is online, all is good.

if the offline server is attempted first, then the client is never able to 
connect to _any_ server.
inside zookeeper.c a connection loss (-4) is received, the socket is closed and 
buffers are cleaned up, it then attempts the next server in the list, creates a 
new socket (which gets the same fd as the previously closed socket) and 
connecting fails, and it continues to fail seemingly forever.
The nature of this "fail" is not that it gets -4 connection loss errors, but 
that zookeeper_interest doesn't find anything going on on the socket before the 
user provided timeout kicks things out. I don't want to have to wait 5 minutes, 
even if i could make myself.

this is the message that follows the connection loss:
2011-04-27 23:18:28,355:13485:ZOO_ERROR@handle_socket_error_msg@1530: Socket 
[127.0.0.1:5020] zk retcode=-7, errno=60(Operation timed out): connection timed 
out (exceeded timeout by 3ms)
2011-04-27 23:18:28,355:13485:ZOO_ERROR@yield@213: yield:zookeeper_interest 
returned error: -7 - operation timeout

While investigating, i decided to comment out close(zh->fd) in handle_error 
(zookeeper.c#1153)
now everything works (obviously i'm leaking an fd). Connection the the second 
host works immediately.
this is the behavior i'm looking for, though i clearly don't want to leak the 
fd, so i'm wondering why the fd re-use is causing this issue.
close() is not returning an error (i checked even though current code assumes 
success).

i'm on osx 10.6.7
i tried adding a setsockopt so_linger (though i didn't want that to be a 
solution), it didn't work.

full debug traces are included in issue here:
