multithread.lua - file from book PiL 5.1

["Edgardo C." <edxxgardo@...>]

Hi everybody,

I just started to learn this very nice language. Even though I checked around, I did not find any that can solve my problem.
I took the file in the subject from the Lua web site:

http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/book/code/multithread.lua.html

Then I run it on Windows 7 and Ubuntu and it looks like (even though using the debugger I see the count variable increasing), the socket connection gets not closed on both OS. The application get locked in the line:

socket.select(connections), meaning that the coroutine is still "doing stuff", which is not true because the file was downloaded.  

Note: I changed from "luasocket" to "socket" and the "timeout" to "settimeout" in require.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
