According to the pseudo code listed in appendix C page C-47 in "Technical
Reference: IBM PC Network", it does seems to me a received datagram completes
all pending RECEIVE DATAGRAM commands which have matching source and 
destination specification.  This brings the two most authoritative
documents, "Technical Reference: IBM PC Network" and RFC1001/1002, together
without conflicting each other.  

The Wollongong RFC1001/1002 implementaion is consistent with Brett Glass's
work and the references that he posted.  I believe there are many NetBIOS
implementations that behave the same.  We would like to see a consensus
among NetBIOS implementors to ensure the RFC1001 standard ( or the other
way around).
