Double connections, weird behavior

[adeelraza]

I've been playing with socket.io for an upcoming application. There has been one bug that I've not been able to get hang of yet. After long inactivity (server or client I'm not sure), when I start the socketio server and try to connect the client, the node output shows double initialized connections and no disconnection. And the messages from the server to client are not delivered.

I tried flashsocket in FF and websocket in Safari. Same problem in both. The only way to reproduce it is leaving the socketio server off for 30 - 40 minutes and starting it again. Not sure at all what could be causing this!
