Subject: gets from socket got eof (multithread)

Hi all,

I have a problem here. My program used a structure similar to the following:

@session=TCPSocket.new(mypopserver,110)
while resp=@session.gets do
blah blah
end

It worked perfect in single user mode. While I put the code into a thread, I 
encountered problem: a lot of thread got resp=nil, and jumped out of the 
while loop.

My question is: I just connected to the socket, and everything seems fine, 
why gets return nil? why the socket reaches eof? Please note that in single 
user mode it is ok.

Thanks
Shannon
