Thank you very much for the report.  I'll apply the bugfix ASAP (This
will happen next year..).  I do have some pending changes here myself and
also will supply some mutex functionality as discussed in previous mails.
I'll also re-consider the dont-kick-socket-on-receive-buffer-overflow.
This will possibly go into a socket flag.

Before doing so we yet need to wait for the 'history' file issue in CVS
being solved...
