<p class="MsoNormal" style=margin-bottom:12.0pt>Hi, <br />
<br />
yes this sounds confusing. We looked into it a little bit but couldn't find the reason for it right away. Have you tried tracing the resv0 in prim_inet? It might give you some more information about why this happens. We can look into it some more too when we
get the time, and if you don't find out more before that :) <br />

<p class="MsoNormal">I can reproduce my problem by:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">3, a native client of the service however tells me that the connection was reset by peer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to strace, it executes a recvfrom which returns ECONNRESET:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New","serif"">recvfrom(...) = -1 ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also straced the Erlang beam process and it indeed gets an ECONNRESET result for the recvfrom call, but the Erlang return value is {error,closed}.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately it looks like I really need to separate these two results.<o:p></o:p></p>
