Hi Roger & all,

I've got a couple more observations on my sys_async_io problem.  I'm 
now almost certain that the unwanted wait states are caused by long 
pauses between packets.

In other words, I've got XVed + some sys_async_io procedures waiting 
on input, I go into a bit of a "think" while I do nothing to the 
machine, then I test out some URL from a web browser.  This pause 
seems to be a prerequisite for a failure to respond to a connection 
request.

Secondly, and less importantly, I have determined that there is no 
connection with my meddling with the sys_signal_flag.  I commented 
out all that code and the problem occurs in the same way.

The overall effect is that sys_async_io completely "forgets" the 
incoming signal.  My current feeble workaround is to manually 
schedule the sys_async_io procedures.
