There isn't really enough code here to know enough about what the
problem could be. It looks like you have 2 processes both of which
want  to go back and forth receiving from the same socket but I'm not
really clear why you just can't use 1 processes to do all the socket
handling.   If you were to post a listing of both modules or at least
enough code to demonstrate the problem then I'm sure we could be more
help.
