I've switched to using sockets and threads but I've run into an interesting problem. On Windows only (shocker), I am unable to start a thread inside of another thread. I'm unclear on why it stops since depending on where I place the thread->new() it works or doesn't work. I've posted the module code here.
You'll notice in ToolHandler the while loops grabs a command and executes it and then tries to read the queue for the other processes that are running the IO tool. If I place the thread->new() before the _CommandHandler call, it fails to start the new thread and just hangs indefintely.
I'm working on putting together a simple version of the module as a script to see if simplifying it changes anything but if there is any advice on the module it would be appreciated.
