Sockets Seems not to Close

[pskondras]

Hi,I am using gpsd4java version 1.10.
I have the following probem.
It seems the sockets to the gpsd are not close when i call the stop() in the endpoint.
My procedure is the following.
If i don't get Gps data for a period of time i stop the endpoint and recreate it.
epoint.removeListener(objectListener);
epoint.stop();
epoint=null;
epoint = new GPSdEndpoint(host, port, new ResultParser());
AddGpsdListeners();
epoint.start();
epoint.version();
epoint.watch(true, true);
epoint.poll();

But wathing the sockets in the unix machine where my java app is running using
lsof -i -P |grep ProcessId
i see that almost each time the code recreates the end point a socket is left open.
Is this a knowh bug. How i can overcome it.
Some logs

It seems that when the stop occurs at some specific time there is a retry in the SocketThread based on retryConnection timeout and then the start() comes again so one socket stays on.

Thanks in advance.
