You are correct, the read returns 0 bytes while more are still expected, 
not an error. I put in a "sleep(10)" triggered when this happens 
followed by another read(), the second read still returns 0 bytes but 
all processes (including the git upload-pack on the server) are still 
running: they die only when I let the demux process terminate after the 
second time read returns 0 bytes. So, something has deadlocked. Are 
there any debug flags or other tricks I can use to try to illuminate 
what locked up in the dll?
