Actually, there is a (4) - blocking i/o within threads. This is good
for very complex interactions with a client (since you don't need a state
machine or anything icky like that) but has portability and scalability
problems (worse than select()? I'd be interested to know, at least as
regards Linux...) It's also quite hard to write a reliable threaded
program since problems can be non-reproducible.
