We came across it many times with ayttm on slow internet connections.  
Often a full packet does not come through on the first read, and the 
next read will block forever.  There's no need to set the socket to 
non-blocking if you're only going to read as much as is available, and 
only when something is available.  What is needed is to buffer the data 
until a complete packet is read.
