Hi Hans,

Why is CLOSE always called with :ABORT T? It seems to me it is only necessary when an IO error occurs and the connection have to be dropped. If it is possible to change the code to use CLOSE without :ABORT T in normal cases, it will be completely safe to use FORCE-OUTPUT inside of the loop. I am not sure the change will resolve the "hanging in FINISH-OUTPUT" problem, but it will make debugging easier.

Ah, now I see what you mean. I will look at the code to find out why :ABORT is used later, but I suspect that there is no good reason to do that in non-error cases.

It would be really useful to find a simple way to reproduce the "hanging in FINISH-OUTPUT" problem. If it is a SBCL bug, getting it fixed in SBCL will be better than implementing a workaround.

I agree with both points made. If there is a suitable workaround for older SBCL versions, it'd be even better. -Hans
