If it leaves sockets subscribed that seems like a bug already, at least if the id was dynamically generated. Of course it would require the id to be reused to actually matter. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
