Also, please post snippets of your script such as how you created the socket and whether or not you have assigned an onConnect function. If you did not assign onConnect function, this might be the issue but I'm leaning towards it being a bug or something else. Also, are you connecting to host by name or by IP? If by name, it could be the DNS lookup that is causing the issue. The only way I can say for sure is if you can provide snippet of your code.

You may also want to send email with small config illustrating problem and detailed explanation to the ProntoTeam. Lookup their email addy from RC account here if you don't know it.
