Negative number of inactive clients

[lovisajohansson]

Hi,

I have an issue where I'm seeing negative numbers of inactive/disconnected clients. Any ideas about how that can happen?

$SYS/broker/clients/total  :  5
$SYS/broker/clients/inactive  : -2
$SYS/broker/clients/active  :  7

Mosquitto version 1.4.10

This happen when a (TCP) connection is established and before the MQTT connection occurred.
The easiest way to reproduce this is to open a plain TCP connection with telnet:

telnet localhost 1883

For each telnet session, the number of inactive clients will goes down by 1.

This is now fixed, an embarrassingly long time later. Thanks very much for your report.
