Hi Edi,

I always wanted to test and finalize those versions but never found the time
to do it.
The major points are the treading model and the socket reuse. Have you also
tested these points ?
(The problem is to have thread specific variables for the socket variables
(no special vars in C :( ))

Cheers,

Marc
