/********************************************************************\

  Example socket server

  Code from original drsdaq socket thread
  
  This code will block execution in the accept() and read() socket function
  while waiting for a connection or data. To terminate, these blocking functions
  must be interrupted by raising a signal (e.g. SIGUSR1). Testing on errno=EINTR
  then indicates this.
