All i have the following socket code.

my $server = IO::Socket::INET->new( Proto     => 'tcp',
                                 LocalPort => $serverport,
                                 Listen    => SOMAXCONN,
                                 Reuse     => 1);
    die "can't setup server" unless $server;
&writelog("$date: INFO: Server $0 started accepting clients <br>connec
+tions");
 while ($client = $server->accept()) {
   $client->autoflush(1);
   my $hostinfo = gethostbyaddr($client->peeraddr);
   my $remoteclient = $hostinfo->name;
   &writelog("$date: INFO: New client connection from <br> $remoteclie
+nt");
   while ( <$client>) {
    next unless /\S/;       # blank line

Now when run this on my suse 9.1 kernel Linux 2.6.4-52-default
i get no issues i can telnet to the port and works fine.
when i run this on my 2.6.5-7.193-smp
I telnet localhost the port 9000 and connects i exit, perfect
when i try and telnet from another machine ie windows to the socket it connects then the program exits and stop running
. This does not happen on my first machine.
Is there a debug i can use.
