Description Oscar Hellström 2008-09-30 18:01:07 UTC

When trying to connect a tcp socket in a loop, the gen_tcp connect call sometimes gives {ok, P} even though no socket is actually listening on the port trying to connect to.

This patch has been accepted by the OTP team but is not in the R12B-4 release.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
See link to mailing list.
