The answer is simple: One bug less ;-)
Seriously, the issue was an incorrect interpretation of the select()
behavior on my part. Usually this isn't an issue if you run as a client
(e.g., what most people use) but when running a server it becomes noticable.
BTW, the thanks for this go to Michael Rueger since he found the problem and
pointed me to it.
