Many have tried to patch this and many have failed  :)

It's a reoccuring problem that has an impact of quite o lot of features. 
For example NamedPipes cannot be used for IPC because you cannot poll on 
HANDLEs using select(). Also, internal eventing is done via TCP sockets 
which is silly and slow but there's no other option with select() in place.

If someone fixes this, he'll do a big service to the community.
