Hi,

Are the threads in 3.0-current supposed to be pre-emptive yet?  I was
just playing around with a multithreaded TCP echo server and it cannot
accept more than one connection simultaneously.  Also, the first call
to read on a socket returns EAGAIN even though its not non-blocking.


Regards,

Niall
