[erlang-questions] Sockets leak in ssl_esock

[Sergei Golovan]

Hi!

Appears that ssl_esock leaks sockets in case when a remote server
drops an already established connection. The following output was
obtained by enabling debug in ssl_esock:

Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.3 [source] [smp:2]
[async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.6.3  (abort with ^G)
1> ssl:start().
ok
2> ssl:connect("localhost",636,[]).

Note the two last sockets. They are stuck forever (until ssl_esock is running).

Is this a known bug? Is there a way to fix it?

Cheers!
