Synapse TBlockSocket occasionally freezes

Question

I've createdan application which communicates with external device using TCP/IP as a client. I'm using Synapse library (v40) for communication. Sometimes however communication freezes. I managed to get callstack with JclDebug,showing that despite defined timeout, receiving packets is the problem.

Delphi 2009 is used.

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue? Bug in Synapse?

[0061888F] blcksock.TBlockSocket.RecvTerminated (Line 2410, "synapse\blcksock.pas")    
... my own code..

Edit: The blocking line is:

x := synsock.Select(FSocket + 1, @FDSet, nil, nil, TimeVal);

Select -function is from winsock2 API.

Edit2: TimeVal is set by Synapse code:

var
  TimeVal: PTimeVal;
  TimeV: TTimeVal;
..
  TimeV.tv_usec := (Timeout mod 1000) * 1000;
  TimeV.tv_sec := Timeout div 1000;
  TimeVal := @TimeV;
  if Timeout = -1 then
    TimeVal := nil;

Original source code is here: http://synalist.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/synalist/trunk/blcksock.pas?revision=154&view=markup

Timeout used is 1000.

Edit3: I've two client threads running to communicate with two different hosts. It looks like only other one is hanging. Application has been running now since thursday. Thread #2 hung after 5 hours, but thread #1 is still running.

Answer 1

As I couldn't find the reason for the freeze, I changed by code a bit and now end up calling RecvTerminated with CRLF as terminater instead of '>', and it seems to work without stopping.
