     Type:  Bugs                     |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined         |  Component:  asio
  Version:  Boost 1.55.0             |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  asio tcp socket connect  |
-------------------------------------+----------------------------
 boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket.connect( EndPt, ec) hangs in
 detail/impl/socket_opps.ipp:472 on the call

 template <typename SockLenType>
 inline int call_connect(SockLenType msghdr::*,
     socket_type s, const socket_addr_type* addr, std::size_t addrlen)
 {
   return ::connect(s, addr, (SockLenType)addrlen);  <== HANGS
 }

 if the IP address is Valid but reserved.  127.0.0.1 & any established
 private network subnet address work fine with either a connection or an
 errorcode return specifying the connection was refused.
