Dear Maurizio,

i guess, everything is fine with you with the head version on sourceforge.

For me, it is still unclear, why 4.5.1 worked for you, but not the head version not. As far i can see, all socket usages were int the same way in 4.5.1, the variable triggers in nsd.h was defined like this at least since 2004. Maybe it was "luck" that the win version worked in 4.5.1 (different memory layout, different compilers / compiler options, ...) [MM] No.... Just Alzheimer... Me. When I first did the compilation I spotted the problem and I fixed it by changing int trigger[2] into SOCKET trigger[2]. Then I forgot completely about it.... Then the issue showed up again..... when I downloaded the code again....

ok, this explains it.

===> If one does no Tcl_Finalize() one introduces a memory leak.

[MM] The process/service is about to end anyhow. I believe that mo matter what the poor process/service does all its memory will be released by the OS. So this is not an issue.

Tcl_finalize shuts down Tcl; it calls the registered exit handlers and then it shuts down various Tcl subsystems. It is certainly not recommended to to omit, but i have not checked the exact consequences for aolserver. If it hangs, it is an indication that there is still something wrong in tcl and/or aolserver. Keep an eye open in this respect.

nsproxy/nsproxy.c
-    Tcl_FindExecutable(argv[0]);

===> The call to Tcl_FindExecutable() is required (at least in Tcl 8.5), otherwise tcl will crash (at least under unix like operating systems)

[MM] Not my change, please look at my newest email and sorry if I cause you some inconvenience.

It was included in your first patch (maybe erratic). If this is not needed, fine.

All the best, and many thanks for the feedback
