I tried this with Gambas2.14/64 on openSuse 11.1, single stepping
through the code:

PRIVATE MySock AS Socket


PUBLIC SUB Form_Open()
  MySock = NEW Socket                            'the socket is now
created. Stream is closed
  MySock.Connect("localhost", 7000)         'does open the stream.
END

I cannot reproduce the symptoms described.
