Probably my example is not so good. That's not my point.
In the example application, client and server socket is in the same process.
But it's NOT generic. usually, client and server are another process. then,
client can't expect when server close socket.

The most big matter is, this is can't be avoided in userland. In addition,
EVERY application don't want application hang up. we don't hesitate
userland change.

Ok, you and Ben Hutchings have convinced me to reconsider.

And this matches what even BSD4.4-Lite does (I checked yesterday before
my initial reply), so I will apply this patch.

Thanks for your patience.

Great!

Thank you!!
