I recently did implement a socket-server using threads. So if you give me
more actual code, I might be able to help you.
However, I stepped away from that approach and went for twisted - a really
excellent networing framework, which eliminated the need for different
threads. You should really look into that, as just having different threads
sitting on blocking io-descriptors is abusing them (while I have to admit -
its tempting...)
