Actually I think the DISCONNECT|REUSE is a relatively well known and used
optimization. I
have not observed any problems with it on NT 4.0. Never tested it on 2000 though.
Reusing
the accept socket on AcceptEx provides a -really- big performance boost for non-keep
alive
connections. I wonder if the problem happens with the REUSE flag? in addition to the
DISCONNECT? Will do some digging around...
