Changes for version 1.17

  • commit 0f4510d83ae2f2ce112288c64289fa36d32865b3 Author: Christian Walde <walde.christian@googlemail.com> Date: Sat Jul 28 07:04:40 2012 +0200
    • fix port checking on Win32 by performing it in another process
    • On Win32 fork is emulating by creating another thread in the same process. This leads to a possible bug/race condition when a server tries to open a port and listen on it, while in the same process a client tries to connect to the same port. This manifests by the accept call of the server failing with an error of "Bad file descriptor".
    • This is easily fixed by having another process perform the port checking, since that will not interfere with the internals.
