yes, I think that might be a good idea: the problem I saw peviously was
that if bytesAvailable>0, but for some reason the try-statement fails
(and therefor bytesAvailable isn't set to 0), you would be caught in an
infinite loop, because I don't think the socket data will be updated
from outside while you are inside such an endless repeat-loop.
but by adding this return statement that leaves the loop this can't
happen anymore. good luck :-)
cheers,
