Trouble with 3b2 TCP/IP 3.0

I had a bizzare problem with TCP/IP 3.0 package on a 3b2/310
earlier today and I'm wondering if someone out there knows
something I don't.
Whilst trying to get rrn working on the 3b2 I kept on getting
read error: Socket operation on non-socket
errors. I grudgingly fired up 'ol sbd and tracked the error down to a
read on stdin before ANY of the network code is executed?! Seems reading
1 character from standard input caused the system to believe it
had done a naughty socket operation on a non-socket, the thing
is the read returned OK and the character read in was correct.
Errno was set to 203 so an error routine kicked in and gracefully
stopped rrn. B^(. My temporary fix was to check errno for value
203 and reset it to 0 if it was, this is OBVIOUSLY NOT a proper fix.
So, my question to the world is this: Has anyone else out there in
3b2 land ever had this same problem and what's the proper fix? rrn is
working just fine, posting and reading, but I'm waiting for the
sky to fall due to my little "fix".
Any help mooocho appreciated,
-Rob
