[Mono-dev] [PATCH] TcpChannel hang on Windows.

[Zoltan Varga]

Hi,

  If aborting the thread is really that hard while it is stuck in
accept, perhaps it would be
easier to not abort it at all at shutdown, i.e. set a flag before
calling accept (), and in the
shutdown code, if the flag is set for a thread, simply ignore it. When
the thread returns from
accept (), it could check the thread/runtime state, and if it looks
like the runtime is shutting
down, simply exit. This has many races etc., but better than hanging
at shutdown.

                      Zoltan
