While I didn't notice any problems myself, some of my users reported
strange behavior which could be related to this reentrance issue. For
which branch did you create your changes?
In any case, I'd be very interested in your modifications to the socket
classes.

For the discussion of the changes, a patch to CVS HEAD should suffice.
Later on, a backport to 2.6 would be nice as well.
