Good that you have been testing this. Even though the latest SVN version 
still has problems, it looks like it is at least not related to the 
changes I did, which were on the top level. So the new main loop in 
rdesktop.c seems to work fine.

I see. We are not really interested in this type of load balancing, but if 
the majority of users of the rdesktop community thinks that rdesktop is 
better off with your patch than without it, I can commit it.
