[Caml-list] Writing to a blocked socket

["David Allsopp" <dra-news@metastack.com>]

I don't seem to be able to ask Google this in a way which will give me a
reasonable answer!

In the same process, if you have one thread blocked on a [recv] operation on
a socket, under Unix another thread can still write to the socket. Under
Windows, however, the call to [send] blocks because there's another thread
blocked on a [recv] to the same socket. Are there any options that can be
set to change that behaviour or is that just "the way it is" and the
application has to be coded using [select] instead?

then couldn't get its stelnet example to work ;o)]
