    The above work-a-round stopped working after a few hours. Guess I will leave the fix up to the experts. The fact that I have never seen the issue occur on a Mac regardless of browser convinces me that the problem is Microsoft Windows related.

    As information, I have also tested with a Ubuntu VM and Firefox and was able to log in/out without any issues.

    As a workaround to the issue, I ended up changing the wp-login.php file as follows:

    $action = isset($_REQUEST['action']) ? $_REQUEST['action'] : 'login';

// logout issue work-a-round start
if ($action == "logout") {
	check_admin_referer('log-out');
	wp_logout();

	$redirect_to = !empty( $_REQUEST['redirect_to'] ) ?
                       $_REQUEST['redirect_to'] :
                       'wp-login.php?loggedout=true';

	wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_to );
	exit();
}
// logout issue work-a-round end

$errors = new WP_Error();

    WordPress logout now works in all browsers on the PC and Mac.

    Celebrated too soon. Firefox worked for about 4 or 5 login/logout iterations…then stopped working again. Even turned Windows Firewall off and still get the error.

    After further research and testing, I was able to get Firefox working.
    For some reason on my Windows Vista test machine, Mozilla Firefox was not enabled under the Windows Firewall Exceptions tab. After adding Mozilla Firefox, I was able to consistently log out of WordPress with no “The connection reset…” errors.

    Still having intermittent logout problems with IE8.

    Recently installed a WordPress site and having the same logout problem as interconnect describes.

    My installation…
    Host Provider: IPOWER
    Wordpress 3.0.2
    Theme: Flexx Professional
    Plugins: Akismet, Easy Gravatars, Gravity Forms, s2Member, Sidebar Login, WP Super Cache

    My testing…
    -Works on all Mac machines (Safari, Firefox and Chrome)
    -Works on all Windows machines (Chrome)
    -Fails on all Windows machines (XP,Vista,7) with IE and Firefox
    -Still fails on clean install of FireFox with no add-ons

    Based on this post, it does not appear to be a plugin issue. Has anyone come up with a work-a-round solution for this problem?
