I assume that there are others like me who are using the handler to do some
complex things when data arrives. In one program I'm using the handler to
shovel data out to one fifo whenever a corresponding control message
arrives via another. While it looks at first like blocking I/O might do
the job, I need some of the control data from the first fifo to construct
the data on the second, and the synchronicity of timing is critical too.
