Hi, Iolib behaves in the following way when using READ-LINE with a non-blocking fd: ;; *client-stream is the stream associated with a client connected to our server IRCD> *client-stream #<active IPv6 stream socket connected to ::ffff:127.0.0.1/41460 {1004D5D451}> IRCD> (fd-non-blocking *) T ;; client sends the string "foo" down the socket, no newline is sent IRCD> (ignore-errors (read-line *client-stream)) NIL #<System-Error EWOULDBLOCK(11) "Resource temporarily unavailable"> ;; client sends the string "bar", followed by a newline IRCD> (ignore-errors (read-line *client-stream)) "bar" NIL So, essentially, the string "foo" is lost. Shouldn't the correct behaviour be to wait till a newline arrives on the socket? Chaitanya
