Joel,Chris,
This may indeed be a bug but I don't think it is what I am seeing 
exactly. First, this assumes you have already blocked in accept(). In my 
situation I have not yet blocked in accept. I go into accept() and then 
return when I see that the SS_CANTRECEIVEMORE flag is set. This flag is 
set when the code chain beginning with fclose(stdin) occurs 
(improperly?) with no console driver installed after calling 
rtems_panic() in another thread.

Also, the patches are against 4.6 and 4.7. Not sure if they are OK with 
4.8.0 which I have. Can you send me an updated patch or, even better, 
the complete files with the patch applied and I will try them? You can 
send to gd.smth at gmail dot com.  (Yes, smth is right).
