I forgot to mention, that the Patch is for 0.4.1, which uses only one 
file handle and therefore using select() should be OK. At least after 
changing, the dll is working as it should.

The code from the trunk of the version system, seems to be terribly 
broken. Can you confirm this? Therefore I could not test if the 0.5 code 
is also eating/ignoring remote EOFs...
