Frederik,
Thanks for the response.
Well -- the major problem seems to be resolved -- see 2) below...

1) compile warning
$ valac --pkg gio-2.0 -o server main.vala
/home/rthompso/vala_projects/server/main.vala.c: In function
‘server_demo_handler’:
/home/rthompso/vala_projects/server/main.vala.c:86: warning: passing
argument 1 of ‘g_strchug’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type

2) strange -- yesterday the non-threaded example was outputting the
following repeatedly

$ ./server
(process:10815): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: fail: Error accepting connection:
Invalid argument

(process:10815): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: fail: Error accepting connection:
Invalid argument
....

Today it seems to be working fine.  I must have had something
interfering with it yesterday -- perhaps something already bound to port
7500 ( the threaded version perhaps... ) ... no, that wasn't it...
$ ./server
Error binding to address: Address already in use

Not sure what the issue was, but things appear to be working OK now...
