In this state, new sessions can't access the chardev, since the zombie TCP session keeps exclusive access to chardev. Steps to reproduce: 1.Establish client session to chardev TCP socket. 2.Power-off the client machine. 3.Establish a new client session 4.Observe that old TCP session is never killed and new session can connect but not interact with chardev. Additional information: Suggestions to resolve this and improve the chardev feature: - enable TCP keep-alive for chardev server. - allow multiple client sessions concurrently, where chardev output is broadcasted to all client sessions, and chardev input is shared by all clients.
