summary: Reports of crashes on unclean close (related to port forwarding?) class: bug: This is clearly an actual problem we want fixed. present-in: 0.55 0.56 2004-11-29 2005-01-16 2005-01-24
We are getting persistent reports of PuTTY crashing when a session is
closed uncleanly, for instance by a network error such as "software
caused connection abort". This limits the usefulness of the ability to
restart dead sessions that was
introduced in recent releases.
(Some people are apparently in the habit of hibernating their machines
with active PuTTY connections. When the machines come back up, the
network connections are likely to be invalid, so PuTTY throws a
network error and gives the same problem.)
Many (all?) of the reports indicate that port-forwarding is in use.
We've not yet been able to reproduce it.
