I could try and give you another hand with this problem but i would might need
to see sections of the code where your make your `accept( )` and ``poll( )`
calls. Perhaps with just a more indepth question with specific examples of your
code i could help as well.
Just another question, are you using multiplexing I/O as in "one server, many
clients" as opposed to "one server, one client"? Can more than one person play
the game at the same time?
