Hi Matt,

Ah yes.  Thanks for pointing that out!  Yes, seems fine now:

1> mochiweb_socket_server:start( [{ip, "127.0.0.1"}, {loop, {connection,
start}}, {name, badger}, {port, 8888}]).
{ok,<0.32.0>}
2> {ok, Sock} = gen_tcp:connect('127.0.0.1', 8888,  [binary, {packet, line},
{nodelay, true}], 3000000).
{ok,#Port<0.496>}
3> Sock.
#Port<0.496>
4> gen_tcp:controlling_process(Sock, self()).
ok
5>

Back to the drawing board!

Cheers,
Paul.
