Sockets on 2.0.0

Hi,

We are using 2.0.0 on Pentium SMP's and uniprocessors and are
having problems with sockets. When we run webservers on either machine
and run benchmarks, the server machine just hangs under heavy load.
It takes a heavier load on the UNiprocessor than on the SMP to hang it
but both of them seem to have the problem.

On the SMPs, we have a simple program which opens UDP sockets between
a pair of programs and send messages to each other. This causes the machines
to hang. On the uniprocessors, this simple program works fine.

Any idea what the problem is ?

Thanks in advance
Sanjeev
