Thanks for the report.  I have committed a bugfix to CVS.  Please test.

I will have think about that one.  Would a function similar to LISTEN
also be okay, which would return T if data is available and NIL
otherwise?

(Note that it would not guarantee a non-blocking read if the server has
already sent some characters but not an entire event, and implementing
that cleanly would be a lot more difficult to do.)
