It seems we have a language issue here. When I said "a number of windows
clients" it would have been clearer to say "a number of TSVN windows
clients". This was implied.

I doubt it does but it also cannot terminate connections on a whim.

I find this quite astounding. Of course Linux will time out open
connections, most OSes will. The issue is why are these connections left
open at all and allowed to time out?

This does not imply that the remote end of the connection will be
notified. This is most likely not the issue at all.
It appears more likely that the server is expecting data and is left
waiting for it.
