Oh so true.  All hail Saint Scott of Sockets (I think I'll refer to
Scott as S3 from now on <grin>).

Well ... that's fine when you are writing both sides of the conversation
... in this case I'm talking to a server written by a different group of
developers.  They wrote the server without any input from me :(  I don't
have to like it ... but I do have to work with it.

Regardless ... this client & server code has been working fine for more
than a year.  This is the first problem we've ever encountered with it.

IBM is chewing on a trace now ... hopefully they will have some input
tomorrow.
