I have never seen this error before. It seems that Jigsaw hasn't been 
notified of the socket close. In fact you said that a netstat was showing 
the socket as still active, so it looks like a jdk bug more than a Jigsaw 
bug.
Anyway, we will inquire on this one!

The sockets have a timeout, 2 timeouts in fact. But the shutdown of the 
server FORCES the shutwodn of the all the clients (first step, close the 
idling clients, second step after a small wait, kill everything).
You can see w3c/jigsaw/http/socket/SocketClientFactory.java  killClients
There souldn't be any open socket at the end of this method call. Another 
jdk bug? (It works well on solaris and NT using Sun's jdk 1.1.3).
