sockets and handles in ghc

Hello, I've been using sockets and handles with ghc-5.04.3. The strange thing is now that when I make a handle out of a socket and ask whether the handle is readable or writable, it returns True for the former and False for the latter, although sockets are bidirectional. And yes, I am able to read from and write the handle notwithstanding. I also got an exception once when working with these things and the debug information I got then, showed that both should have returned True instead. Can anyone enlighten me? thanks, Jur -- http://www.cs.uu.nl/people/jur/progrock.html -- jur@cs.uu.nl If e-mail does not work try jurriaanhage@hotmail.com
