Hi,
	I have implemented a new socket address family and have noted that
from a multi-threaded application, if a thread calls close(fd) while a
second thread has a blocking read outstanding, the sockets release() is not
called.  Is this correct?  How can one unblock the read in order to do the
close.


Thanks

Kevin
