[Qt-interest] Major bug in QAbstractSocket'smethodwaitForReadyRead()

[Patric]

Thank you for answer, John.
Actually the method is somethimes not working even if the network state is 
connected and OK.
Maybe I should have mentioned it. So I made some tests and send the result 
to the mail list.

I also beleive this mai be connected to my problem.

I'm sure anyone who plays a lot with network oriented use would notice this.

Best regards,
Patric
