The problem does not appear to be limited to the INPROC connections, I switched 
back to TCP connections and noticed the same problem.


The ROUTER continues to work. It receives messages from 4 out of 5 DEALERS. 
When the application starts all 5 DEALERS work fine. 

It appears that one DEALERS messages stop getting delivered to the ROUTER. I 
have debugged the one troubled DEALER and it gets no error on the send. The 
ROUTERS poll thread is running continues to get messages from 4 DEALERS. 

I do a netstat and the TCP connection still exists.

Also, the router is successfully sending messages to the troubled DEALER.
