that sounds correct and a desirable change. i think the current behaviour
goes all the way back to the first iol stuff i did, and was possibly just
a thinko?
oh perhaps it was because i didn't want to pay for a stack allocation on
every entry to the low level send/recv routines? (which is why there's a
separate wait_for_io_or_timeout routine)
that change is worth benchmarking.
