Summary: Non-blocking Socket Server

Initial Comment:
Changed the included Python 2.3.3 SocketServer.py 
to be non-blocking.

I have made a web-server on BaseHTTPServer, but the 
server could get shot down externally by sending 
malformed request. Making it very Easy to Perform a 
Denial of Service.

The problem also exists in "Module Docs" web-server

To experience problem run Module Docs, and verify that 
web-server is working

telnet to webserver (telnet 127.0.0.1 7464#)
type "GET /\r"

access any web-page on web-server and notice how it 
is hung.

Replace existing SocketServer.py with included 
SocketServer.py and re-test noticing that the problem 
is gone.
