37
de22bb5e
RS		 38** Reiner Steib's 23 Jan 2006 bug report that tool bar icons don't update.
39
40** Ralf Angeli's 4 Jul 2005 bug report about scroll-preserve-screen-position.
41
42** Martin Rudalics' 30 Jan 2006 bug report about overlays at end of buffer.
43
fb90e6d9 44** TCP server processes do not work on Windows.
28df3a10
JB		 45
46TCP/IP server processes created with `make-network-process' consume
47excesive CPU on some Windows environments. Usages of 50% and 100%
48CPU time have been observed on different Window XP configurations.
fc3c954c 49Seems to be a problem in sys_select in w32proc.c.
28df3a10 50
49af2995
KS		 51In its current form, it sys_select says the socket is ready, so we
52call server_accept_connection which again calls accept() which returns
53-1 with errno == WSAEWOULDBLOCK (10035) indicating that there is no
54pending connection to accept.
55
56It seems that to fix this, w32 server sockets must use WSAAsyncSelect
57+ FD_ACCEPT to request notifications of incoming connections...
