- I only see this kind of problem when I interleave calls to TCPRecvChars()
- and TCPRecvUpTo(); if I use either one exclusively, they seem to work
- fine. I wonder if they share some buffer in a mutually exclusive way.
- This isn't necessarily what's going on, but if you can get by with
- using only one for your application, it may save you headaches.
