        Correct - the writing is (currently) blocking - I personaly don't
think that's a bonus; but I don't see anyone leaping to fix it anytime
soon.

        Of course - if it ever is fixed; the only way to really be sure is
to have a shutdown method - but then; I know how much you love shutdown
methods :-)

        Regards,

                Michael.
