Bug description

Hi,

after trying to communicate over a socket the exception

Sys_error("Connection reset by peer")

gets raised by my networking application. The exception is caught, and
the app executes a subsequent "close_out" on the out_channel associated
with the socket. The function never returns: the program silently dies.

The OCaml-debugger displays the following as last message:

Lost connection with process 11781Uncaught exception: Out of memory

Calling the external "close_out_channel" rather than "close_out",
i.e. closing the out_channel without flushing it first, does not cause
this problem. This may indicate a bug in the flush-function.

Regards,
Markus
