Well, that's the scary part. It seems to lose no data at all for reasons 
beyond me. I had expected that once the buffer fills up, we would get 
write-errors and that the dcop connection would be dropped due to errors...

...but that doesn't seem to happen.

I managed to send 12000 messages from one client to another client who 
processed one message per second and he received the first 274 messages 
without problem. At message 275 I aborted it. The messages contained a 
QString of about 40 characters.

Lemme see if there is a limit on the message size.

Cheers,
Waldo
