        Ok - so I re-wrote linc_connection_read, killed the broken way it
was handling EAGAIN, removed a recursion deadlock - and then discovered   
that the problem was simply that we were not setting the non-blocking flag
on all new connections in the ORB :-)

        Anyway - we're cleaner all round; and you'll need a HEAD linc and
ORBit2.
