Oh, I didn't know that. I now realize that you are using no threads.
Obviously REXML's sax2parser is an endless loop which only breaks on EOF
and loses all state then.

There are three solutions:
* Either use threads like in XMPP4R
* Or use libxml-ruby's sax2parser with my patch
* Make your own - interruptable - version of sax2parser, using REXML's
  BaseParser

I'm sorry I confused you, you should have pointed at the code earlier.

BTW, I like the code, it looks clean. If you decide to take the
threading path, please consider contributing to XMPP4R. S2S is useful
for more than just standard user servers.
