Subject: Re: gets from socket got eof (multithread)

Hi,

As usual I need information about your platform, your Ruby version,
and preferably error reproducing script.  I couldn't reproduce similar
error using 1.8.0 2003-03-28.

In message "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.

It might caused by your stdio behavior.
