[vpnc-devel] Spammed with Bad file descriptor messages (with patch)

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

HI all,

On a long running VPNC session I eventually get this in syslog:

    Jun 13 00:04:08 localhost vpnc[31231]: select: Bad file descriptor

followed by hundreds of identical messages per second until I kill it.

It lookse like we need something like the following patch which I am
testing right now.

Cheers,
Erik
