Yes. If you set the socket to blocking then it works

Its a nasty bug... if you set the socket to non-blocking, accept() should
not block. If select() says that the (listening) socket is readable, then
accept must succeed. This is required by POSIX.

I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to look into it, but Rob is 100%
correct in his expectations of how it should work. Do I gather from
your message above that setting the socket to blocking make it work
ok ? If so thats a big clue to tracking down the problem,

Steve.
