Which operating system and VM version are you using as a server? If 
it's a mac I'll fix it, shouldn't happen. If it's a unix machine 
we've done quite a few changes about 3 weeks ago to fix issues like 
this and you should look for a new VM on Ian's site.

"backlog" setting see

http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?listen+2

For non-BSD machines it might get ignored, see your OS details for 
implications, but the issue of missing the data is an issue of how 
socket state is transmitted upwards to the Smalltalk code.
