Unfortunately so. There was some consensus when I proposed implementing it 
that it was a bad idea to poll the command socket all the time. However 
now that we have efficient timers it shouldn't be too hard to implement 
regular polling.

I might need you to build the latest Box from source on client and server 
to help debug this problem, would that be possible for you?

Cheers, Chris.
