No problem, Nathan also helped clear up most of my worries on IRC.

Note that even the TIMEOUT_DEFAULT is a problem in that allows a
naughty client to send one byte on channel, and lets pmcd sit there
for a few seconds waiting for more, not servicing anyone else.  This
is what a further rework inspired by the "continuation passing style"
comment in pduread() could correct.
