Hello!
Some applications making heavy use networking make extensive use of light weight threads instead, thus allowing blocking streams. This is more common on platforms that either don't support fork() well...
BIRD doesn't need fork(), but as I was thinking about non-blocking IO, it could be probably worked around by using select() or poll() after each IO operation. Does eCos support these calls properly?
