Sorry about the last post.  Hitting TAB and Enter before it's time will do that!

The TIdTCPServer is dropped on a VCL TDataModule.  This is done to neaty package the server component with the event handler methods.  Namely, OnExecute.

In the OnExecute handler method, there is the following code (fragment)

while ( true )
{
  // If the socket is no longer connected,
  if ( !AThread->Connection->Connected() )
  {
    // Enter the shutdown sequence.
    break;
  }

  // If the communications with the client is complete
  // (as determined by the server via the data level
  // protocol),
  if ( ibComDone )
  {
    // Enter the shutdown sequence.
    break;
  }

  // Perform reads/writes.
  ...
}

The problem is that AThread->Connection->Connected() returns true when the client disconnects.  The client disconnects after a period of inactivity.  The server has its own inactivity timeout which will call DisconnnectSocket on the connection.
