When listen (sock, back) is active, existing communications sockets cannot work because there is no cpu time for them. Only one connection can be permitted.

Euphoria 4, MS Window Vista, win32lib, EU 4 sockets

Multitasking is used throughout.

This is a known limitation of the tasking system. In 4.0 we now use threads, but there is a big global lock so nearly all of the time only one thread is allowed to run. (On Unix (including Mac OS X) this issue is easily worked around by using fork() instead of tasks.)
