Closing a socket

Hi,
I have implemented a new socket address family and have noted that
from a multi-threaded application, if a thread calls close(fd) while a
second thread has a blocking read outstanding, the sockets release() is not
called. Is this correct? How can one unblock the read in order to do the
close.

Thanks

Kevin
