Yes, thanks, nasty little bug that happened when I just rearranged a bunch
of that code... thanks!  Should appear in the nightly build.

I'm no god on this select stuff, so could you explain what you mean?  I'm
not sure what the FD_SETSIZE really does I guess.

This one is already in the socket.c file.

What does TCP_NODELAY exactly do?  I've read up on some of this stuff, but
it's not always clear.
