mob-client threads start hanging on windows

[dylemma]

First off, I'd like to thank you for creating this project. I'm very new to Rust, and found this project through your blog post which was linked from the MIO project. It has been very helpful as a hands-on example and launching point.

Secondly, I'm not sure if this is a bug in "mob" or MIO. If you think this is a MIO bug I'll be glad to re-report the bug there.

Essentially the bug is that when running both mio-server and mio-client (built from the master branch) on my Windows machine, all but one of the client threads start hanging. As far as I can tell from adding println!s, they are blocked trying to read from the server.

I set up an Ubuntu VM on the hunch that the issue was OS-specific, and sure enough, it works fine on Ubuntu.

It might be related to tokio-rs/mio#365 . I will update once 0.6.0 comes out and we can see if that fixes it.

@dylemma i have updated this to the latest mio. Not sure if it is working now (or if you even care!).

@hjr3 thanks for the update! After work I'll see if I can find the project I was working on when I reported this.

Well, now it won't even compile on Windows because of UnixReady. I opened up tokio-rs/mio#631 since trying to just use Ready gives deprecation warnings.

probably something i am doing wrong. i forgot i have a new windows laptop i can test this on too. thanks for the feedback!
