Lots of bugs in the JUNOscript API code, too.  I'm getting a patch
ready.  Hint - look at the disconnect routine.  None of those waits
ever execute and if they did, the WNOHANG specification is incorrect
and would yield undef or basically wait.  There are race issues
which wll frequently result in a hang.  The recv also sometimes
aborts with Interrupted system call, also.
