Re: serving multiple shape files with Linklayer

Hi,

When the client breaks contact (signs off), an IOException is thrown and
caught by the server thread, which ends the life of that thread. The
resources used by that thread are eventually gc'd, although I've noticed
that usually happens when the next thread dies. I suspect there's a
small memory leak there that's preventing a more timely cleanup, but the
cleanup does happen. (I am trying to track this down)
