[Live-devel] RTSP Server crash on TEARDOWN

Well, the server code implements the RTSP "TEARDOWN" command by 
deleting the "RTSPServer::RTSPClientSession" object.  Perhaps your 
subclass[*] of "RTSPServer::RTSPClientSession" is deleting your 
pipe's endpoint socket?  If this pipe is a property of the data being 
streamed, rather than a particular client, then it should really be 
associated with your "ServerMediaS(ubs)ession" subclass[*], rather 
than with the "RTSPServer::RTSPClientSession".

[*] I say *subclass* because, as you know, you should not be 
modifying the supplied source code at all.
