Fixed in CVS.  While debugging I found a subtile synchronization problem
in the message queue implementation which apparently never was a problem
in W. Richard Stevens original implementation.  Under some circumstances
a deadlock could occur because the Windows scheduler didn't give any
time to another process waiting for the same event object.  I fixed that
now by splitting the single event object which was used to signal both,
a full as well as an empty queue. into two separate event objects.  So,
that's why the fix took a while longer than anticipated.
