Asyncore select statement problem

[JamesHoward]

I have a problem with python's asyncore module throwing a bad file
descriptor error.  The code might be difficult to copy here, but the
problem is essentially:

The server wants to sever the connection of an open Asyncore socket.
Calling the socket.close() nor the socket.shutdown(2) calls seem to
work.  The only way I can close the connection without creating the
error below is to have the client close the connection.

I have the asyncore.loop() as the last line of a thread that is spawned
within the applications "mainframe.py" or gui thread.  It doesn't seem
to me like this would make a difference, but I am unfamiliar with the
specifics of how the asyncore module works.

Any thoughts people have would be greatly appreciated.  If needed I may
be able to create a small version of the problem to post for people to
see.

Thanks,
Jim Howard
