According to the recv(2) man page: The return value will be 0 when the peer has performed an orderly shutdown. Yet the code in read_data_net and net_get_header both attempt to re-read from a socket that will _never_ have data. (I hit this problem today on blktrace2 - I've got orderly shut downs in place.)
