This is an educated guess. In Cygwin the RTSPClientConnection socket doesn't close explicitly after a TEAR. The read bitmask in the call to select in BasicTaskScheduler remains active and the call returns immediately by some reason which doesn't apply to other posixes. Modifying handleCmd_TEARDOWN so that the RTSPClientSession deletes itself and its ourClientConnection closes sockets seem to restore normal CPU usage after a TEAR with no (evident) adverse effects. > I must admit that I don't understand why so many people > are trying to develop server applications (LIVE555-based > or otherwise) on Windows.

The server will run in Windows among other servers already in Windows, all of them will be eventually ported to Linux (hopefully). The test tool will have to run in Windows too however.
