Comment(by nkvoll):

 In order to clarify a little:

 I told iptables to drop incoming packets to the port the xapian-replicate
 client used, then I stopped the xapian-replicate-server and removed the
 iptables rule (iptables --flush).

 At that point, the server has sees no connection to the client, but the
 client still waits in read(), ever hopeful, waiting for the server to
 respond -- without any timeout it will probably never leave that state.
