in thread Using Threads For Simple SMTP Relay Server

I'm using: 
threads:         1.67
threads::shared: 1.14

[download]
Hmmmmm. I'm up 5 version on threads and 2 on threads::shared. I don't think it's threads::shared because all I'm passing is an integer number (of the IO::Socket::INET fileno()). I'll try downgrading threads and see what happens.

      Wow, I just downloaded the code you gave and ran it on my machine. It does the exact same thing it always does. That is sooo weird. I guess we're just going to have to give up. I really appreciate your help. I suppose I'll fire up .Net and write the SMTP relay server there. I was really hoping to avoid that ;-).

        Seems a shame, but good luck with that. The next step would have been to try and recruit a 3rd party with an XP box to run the cade and see if it is my setup or yours that is unusual.

        There are also a whole host of possibilities revolving around how your XP is configured--like do you use ICF or other firewall. Most of those possibilities would appear on the surface to be unlikely as a cause because your forking version is apparently working.

        The real shame is that your threaded code worked first time on my machine and continues to work.
