I tried your script (using the ;EXEC sysop command to just loop back to
localhost, port 23) and it was able to receive okay, but slowing, it wasn't
able to send. There was no crashing or lockups anything.

I'll have to play with it later. Have you seen exec/socktest.js? It does very
much what you're trying to, but faster (transmits and receives in blocks) and
works for both transmit and receive. I think it's a pretty simple example.
