Elliott Rabe commented on NET-3:
--------------------------------
It also appears to be possible to run into this bug in threaded mode. It is
possible for the close method to set the threaded state to false while the
reader is still active. Under these circumstances the same infinite loop is
invoked. I am also curious when the next build will be happening so I can see
if the patch fixes this situation as well.
> [net][PATCH] TelnetInputStream.read sometimes hangs if reader thread is

> Key: NET-3
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-3
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Operating System: Windows XP
> Platform: PC
> Reporter: Rob Hasselbaum
> Attachments: hanging_read_fix.patch
>
>
> I'm trying to use TelnetClient with the reader thread disabled because I
> don't
> want socket timeouts to fire during planned periods of inactivity (COM-1554).
> But when the thread is disabled, I'm finding that TelnetInputStream.read
> occassionally hangs when I try to read output from the server.
> The problem appears to be the first while loop in __processChar, which looks
> like this:
> synchronized (__queue)
> {
> while (__bytesAvailable >= __queue.length - 1)
> {
> if(__threaded)
> {
> __queue.notify();
> try
> {
> __queue.wait();
> }
> catch (InterruptedException e)
> {
> throw e;
> }
> }
> ...
> }
> If you get into this loop and the threaded flag is false, you are stuck
> forever. That's what's happening in my case. If I suspend the thread, I can
> see that (__bytesAvailable) is 2048 and (__queue.length -
> 1) is also 2048, so it's an infinite loop.
> I'm not sure what triggers this, but it seems to happen most often when there
> is a pause in server output or a pause before I initiate the next read.
