g_io_add_watch, g_io_channel_read stops working after sometime.

[Rehan <rehan shaikh radarspot com>]

Hi, 

 I am trying to write a program based on client-server architecture. I need
only one client connection hence i am first listening to client then
accept() is called. after accept() i call g_io_channel_unix_new () and then
g_io_add_watch() and later in the function i use g_io_channel_read to read
data from the channel. 

  Everything works fine till 4-5 requests from the client. Later the server
simply stops listening to client. I have tried tcpdump on server side and i
do recieve the TCP packet from the client. So it means there is some bug at
server side. I am not sure if i have done something wrong or some bug in
core library... 

I am confused as the code works for 4-5 request and then simply starts
ignoring the client messages. Is g_io_add_watch ignoring the incoming
signals?? thats what i can detect from my gdb tracing.... there is no
invocation of my function even if i recieve a packet on server side from the
client.... 

in summary function calls: 

->socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0) 
->bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr))) 
->listen(sockfd,5) 
->accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &cli_addr, &clilen) 
->g_io_channel_unix_new (global_sock) 
->g_io_add_watch(listenonsocket, G_IO_IN | G_IO_PRI,read_request,
&global_sock) 
->g_io_channel_read(channel,&len,sizeof(len),&bytes_read); 

I hope somebody comes to my rescue its been now 3 days i am trying to solve
this problem but no success... 

Thanks in advance for all great coders.... 

Regards, 
RS.
