Has anyone been succesful with the AVScorout_event_wait() library 
routine?

I'm using it with sockets and I've noticed that the routine seems to 
ignore any timeout value passed to it.

We'll, I've found the answer to my problem.  Thank goodness for undocumented 
"features" in the AVS manuals: otherwise, debugging would be such a bore=;^).

On DEC 5000 ULTRIX (and maybe other machines too):
A coroutine module must operate synchronously (AVScorout_set_sync(1)) so 
that AVScorout_event_wait() will function properly with respect to timeout.
If the coroutine module is operating asynchronously, it will return 
immediately regardless of the timeout value (NULL or non-NULL).

GRRRR. (Release product, allow users to find bugs, announce upgrade program).
