socket close problems with Python 2.5b1

[Irmen de Jong]

I'm having some troubles with closing sockets using Python 2.5b1
Simply closing a client socket (on the server side) doesn't seem
to actually shutdown the socket anymore. A connected client
simply hangs, while with older Pythons it aborted with a socket
close error.

Can someone confirm this for me? Or shed some light on it?

More info and a test program is available in the following
but report:

Thanks,
