Mahadev konar updated ZOOKEEPER-396:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: ZOOKEEPER-396.patch

after some thinking and digging deep it seems that the problem is occuring 
after we call zookeeper_close and get use the same handle in a seperate thread 
to get data. Similar to FILE api in libc, the behavior of using the handle 
after close is called is undefined and might create problems. So, I have just 
updated the docs in the c code to reflect this in the docs and warn users on 
not doing this.

> race condition in zookeeper client library between zookeeper_close and 
> zoo_synchronous api

> There is a race condition in zoopkeeper client library wherein if the 
> application calls zookeeper_close() and zoo_anysynchronouscall 
> simultaneously, sometimes the zoo_sync api call gets hung waiting for a 
> notification whcih will never come.
> We might want to create another bugfix release for this.
