That is a *really* good idea, and I should have
thought of it :-) :-). Thanks Andrew !

Peter, in the "connect" VFS call, calloc a
buffer to use to return for all read calls,
and stash away a pointer to it.

That removes the problem entirely.

Thanks a *lot* Andrew (boy do I feel dumb now :-).

Cheers,
