I'd totally love to find someone prove me wrong (the code can be downloaded from the sourceforge site), but I'm baffled how my code which just gets lines from the socket and processes them would work for 99.99% of the lines and fail on the 0.01% -- it's doing the same thing over and over again. Maybe it is the TCP/IP stack, but then it's broken for Linux and Windows... I'd think someone would have noticed.
