Hi,
I'm trying your sample and I get a strange behavior.
Your client succeeds to send message to the server but not at all the 
attempts.
I patch your client adding a loop sending a long

<code>
     for (long i(0); i!=100;i++)
       {
     ei_x_buff x;
     ei_x_new_with_version(&x);
     ei_x_encode_long(&x, i);
     int res = ei_reg_send(&ec, fd, "spike", x.buff, x.index);
     if (res < 0) erl_err_quit("send failed");
     ei_x_free(&x);
       }
</code>

When I launch the client one time, nothing append, but if I repeat the 
operation several times, the server write the messages on his output.


I don't have any explanations....
