Yes, we're talking about primitives. Plugins group primitives, some plugins are builtin, others are more like dynamic libraries, and live separate from the VM.

The problem is that the C and OS implementations are different for each platform. Which can result in very subtle semantic differences. In this case it has something to do with detecting/handling a closed socket stream.

From a user standpoint, no. We have a reproducible case now. Thanks for that.

I am indeed afraid that you might need to think about a workaround, I can't promise anything about fixing this. Of course, anyone is free to help.
