So the question is why are these threads still waiting on their sockets.
Looking at your logs, it's clear that the error occurs and
connection_closing() is called, which will call connection_abandon() to set
the o_abandon flag on all of the connection's ops.
I agree; I had followed that much.
Can you please provide the output for "print *op" and "print *op->o_hdr"
in thread 13 and thread 16, frame 3?
