Is there a new ETA for this?

At the moment, I'm in a quandary with ServerSocket. If you noticed, I
just suppressed a TelnetAppender test that was written in the last
week or so. The test is valid, it is just that the implementation of
ServerSocket behaves differently on different platforms and on some
platforms it will deadlock on close.
On Mac OS/X, a call to accept() returns an error if the listening
socket is closed on a different thread. On Linux (Ubuntu 6.06
specifically), a call to accept() does not return but continues to
wait does not return and the specified timeout seems to have no
affect. This results in the call to Thread::join on the
TelnetAppender::close to never return.
If blocking with timeout is not portable, then the accept logic should
be rewritten using non-blocking with polling (which hopefully is
portable). Unfortunately, I'm already fully committed today and can
not work on the issue.
