Okay. You're not the first to hit this, and probably not the last
either. I therefore reverted r231, and released 2.9.3. That should fix
this. I'll do the same on the 2.8 branch later, at an hour that does not
read as '3:26 AM local time'.

(r231 implements non-blocking sockets for communication with the client.
That improved performance, but apparently it isn't bug-free... I'll
leave this as is now, except on trunk, where I'll intend to fix the
issue rather than leave it)
