Description From Rob S 2005-03-29 11:09:47

When attempting a connection (i.e., ...register_connection) to a host that is 
unreachable, the callback will not get invoked (it appears) and a cancel 
(i.e., ...register_cancel) will not free the FD. The FD is leaked and a long 
running service will eventually use its allocation of FDs.

The bug was encountered by an RLS user. RLS uses the globus_io interfaces to 
xio. This bug blocks 3010. A fix is needed for GT 3.2.1 (for RLS users on GT3) 
and for the development branch.

Add 'bug ... blocks' 3010

The connected socket wasn't being closed on canceled or timedout requests.  
This has been fixed in both the trunk and the 3.2 branch.  An update package to 
3.2.1 has also been made available on the advisories page.
