I suspect that this is the ListenLoop bug that was thrashed out in Nov on
the PWS list. A fix is available, though I don't know if it got into 2.3
yet (John Maloney would know...John?)

The problem (I fuzzily recall) was that ListenLoop was trying to reuse a
Socket that plain didn't exist so you ended up in a tight high priority
loop.

The final solution was to kill the Socket object.

I'm not clear if this is in fact your problem, but it may be connected, so
to speak. Check your version of ConnectionQueue>>ListenLoop. It should be
of 11/10/98.
