It is a PalmOS bug. The work-around is to turn off lingering.. actually the
bug is that turning off lingering requires you to turn it on with a time of 0
:)
NetSocketLingerType linger;
linger.onOff = true;
linger.time = 0;
if (NetLibSocketOptionSet(AppNetRefnum, sock, netSocketOptLevelSocket,
netSocketOptSockLinger, &linger, sizeof(linger), AppNetTimeout,
&errno) != 0) {
/* error */
}
