Memory problems concerning DDE and FLIPS

following this issue i'm having maybe a combination of both problem that
i raised in this list with flips... memory and parelelism.
My server has several iterations. For each iteration, a node (because it
is distributed) interacts with the network, doing sendto's and
recvfrom's (in average 15/20 calls for each iteration). In earlier
discussions, we concluded that Flips wasn't parallel and has some memory
leaks. Since the beginning i've had a strange problem... sometimes the
sendto hangs. When i didn't knew that flips wasn't paralel this was more
notorius, becauses he hanged lacking the support to the concurrent and
blocking calls, but now he has no reason to do that. I don't block calls
for an infinite period of time and when i do a blocking call, i've
surrounded all the other possible calls with locks, so that each
blocking call becomes atomic and sequential (sendto, recvfrom and select).
He calls the sendto of the client library, but nothing happens on the
flips side... so i presume that the call hangs somewhere. This happens
after some iterations... around 200 iterations, so nearly 2000 sendto's.
It's not the same problem that gave me when i tried to do 10000
sendto's. Then it gave me the "no memory available...". Now only hangs.
Any ideia for what might be causing this issue?
Thanks in advance
Tiago
