Hi!

I'm currently writing a telnet program and now have the problem
that when I receive a relatively large amount of data (such as
with "ls -lR /") after a few seconds it hangs, because
the library thinks there is no data to read.
select() hangs (or times out), recv() either blocks (blocking
mode) or fails with EAGAIN (nonblocking).
On my linux box (where I do the "ls -lR /") netstat says the
send-Q of the connetion fills up to like 40k or so.

What gives?
I'm using Win98SE with libsocket 0.8.0p1 and CODA's sock.vxd.

Peter
