I am not an expert in networking, but it seems to me that to
avoid blocking you need to make the server socket non-blocking.
I dunno what is you platform, but if you are using the
GNU C Library you can read the "accept" info node:
The `accept' function waits if there are no connections
pending,
unless the socket SOCKET has nonblocking mode set.
(You can use
`select' to wait for a pending connection, with a
nonblocking
socket.) *Note File Status Flags::, for information about
nonblocking mode.
