0.10.0 RC3 on Monday

There are much better things to do over the next 3 days than
to review  
a release candidate.  I hope to prepare and post one on
Monday.

At the moment, I'm in a quandary with ServerSocket.  If you
noticed, I  
just suppressed a TelnetAppender test that was written in
the last  
week or so.  The test is valid, it is just that the
implementation of  
ServerSocket behaves differently on different platforms and
on some  
platforms it will deadlock on close.

On Mac OS/X, a call to accept() returns an error if the
listening  
socket is closed on a different thread.  On Linux (Ubuntu
6.06  
specifically), a call to accept() does not return but
continues to  
wait does not return and the specified timeout seems to have
no  
affect.  This results in the call to Thread::join on the  
TelnetAppender::close to never return.

If blocking with timeout is not portable, then the accept
logic should  
be rewritten using non-blocking with polling (which
hopefully is  
portable).  Unfortunately, I'm already fully committed today
and can  
not work on the issue.

Is there a new ETA for this?
