Description
The current Unix implementation of receiving a TCP/IP connection using select does not consider errors that can occur during select but handles them the same way as regular timeouts are handled. An error can occur for example, if an interrupt makes select() return, for example, which should be handled gracefully in the code instead of returning OFFalse (as it is done for the case of a regular timeout).
The problem and patch is described in this forum post: http://forum.dcmtk.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4108
