Re: m2crypto - close_wait when running echod_async

I did the same for me.
I think that this is the only solution.

By the way: 
  the patch on m2crypto homepage
  doesn't work at all (at least under Python 2.2)

  http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/Dist/0.13p1.patch  <<--doesn't work.



Greetings, Andre'
