[Mono-dev] WCF Fail with System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Connection reset by peer

[Rob Wilkens]

Hi Shahbour,

I think this is a lucky timing issue..  That is: The Thread.Sleep makes
the SocketException happen in between when we are receiving or
sending...  In your stacktraces, it's always WHILE we are sending or
receiving that the disconnect happens and the crash occurs. 

One way to reproduce this might be to spawn copies that send LOTS of
data (could be a bunch of zeroes) and receives back a bunch of data
(again could be a bunch of zeroes), and while we spawn those copies,
wait just long enough for the connection to start, then kill the client
process externally (equivalent of kill -9 proc)....  And then just have
this whole spawn and kill thing in a loop until it fails.

One way to send lots of zeroes or whatever, would be to send a string,
but before we send that string, continually append to that string in a
loop so it becomes very long..

What do you think?
