[Live-devel] live555 ProxyServerMediaSession "race condition".

I checked this scenario just now, and I was correct: The "ProxyRTSPClient" object - and its TCP socket - gets closed, so the response to the RTSP "DESCRIBE" command will never get handled.

So, I can't see how the situation that you describe can be really happening.  (If you are actually seeing a crash, then it appears to be for some reason other than what you're describing.)
