the easiest way to provoke it is running the following code in a python
interpreter
---8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
import socket
HOST = ''
PORT = 5555
def close_on_connect_server(): s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen(1) conn, addr = s.accept() print 'Connected by', addr conn.close()
close_on_connect_server()
---8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
and then connect to it with psql
$ psql -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5555 anydb
this causes the python function to terminate and psql will start using
all available CPU in tight recv() loop.
I'm not sure I will get around to fixing it very soon , though I hoped I
can.
