John,

It could be that you still have an old ConnectionQueue hanging around
somewhere that is still listening on that port (and consequently grabbing
the connections instead of the expected ConnectionQueue getting them).

Evaluating the following code in a workspace yields an inspector on a
dictionary with a client socket, a server socket, and the queue...in order
to have this code work twice in a row, you may need to destroy the queue
between evaluations.  Both sockets should be connected.

---
| connectionQueue serverSocket clientSocket |
connectionQueue _ ConnectionQueue portNumber: 54323 queueLength: 4.
clientSocket _ Socket newTCP.
clientSocket connectTo: (NetNameResolver localHostAddress) port: 54323.
clientSocket waitForConnectionUntil: Socket standardDeadline.
serverSocket _ connectionQueue getConnectionOrNil.
Dictionary new
	at: 'client' put: clientSocket;
	at: 'server' put: serverSocket;
	at: 'queue' put: connectionQueue;
	inspect.

Hope that helps,
