Well, once again I find that the easiest way to solve a problem is to post it
to everyone on the planet; and then, invariably, I solve it myself within an
hour of the post...The problem had to do with phantom data hanging around in
the socket queue; nothing a while(read(s,&c,1)); couldn't fix...

Since my assumption about the use of STREAMS to implement sockets seems to be
incorrect, can anyone tell me what STREAMS is for?  Is it just a 'brand name'
of TCP/IP?

Thanks again!
