Hi,

I have some difficulties using the open-tcp-client primitive on MacOSX 10.4 with Gambit-Cb14. The primitive returns a port before that port is actually ready to be used for sending/receiving data. See below for an example (Use two separate hosts to reproduce the error... don't try this with the client and server running on the same host).

If the client (host B) is MacOSX 10.4 the second call to (do-call) fails.

Any hints? Thank you,

Francois Magnan

; Run this on host A

(define (server-start) (let ((command-queue (open-tcp-server (list port-number: 5000 reuse-address: #t eol-encoding: 'cr)))) (let loop () (let ((incoming-connection (read command-queue))) (display "Got connection\n") (serve-command incoming-connection)) (loop))))

(define (serve-command incoming-connection) (let* ((parsed-command (read incoming-connection))) (display (list "received command" parsed-command)) (if parsed-command (write "toto" incoming-connection)) (close-port incoming-connection)))

(thread-start! (make-thread (lambda () (server-start))))

;;; ;;;; -- ;;;; simple client ;;;

; run this on host B

(define Host-A-IP "206.167.88.52")

(define (do-call sleep?) (let* ((connection (open-tcp-client (list server-address: Host-A- IP ; put Host A IP here port-number: 5000 eol-encoding: 'cr)))) (if sleep? (thread-sleep! 1)) (write (list 1 2 3) connection) (display "\n" connection) (force-output connection) (let ((result (read connection))) (close-port connection) result)))

(define (test) (thread-sleep! 1) (display "try with sleeping...\n") (do-call #t) (display "sleeping...\n") (force-output) (thread-sleep! 1) (display "now try without sleeping...\n") (do-call #f))
