[Ace-users] Reading from standard input inside of a Connector

[djh]

I'm following the examples in the "ACE Programmer's Guide". I've set
up and adapted the single threaded Acceptor Connector framework to fit
my initial needs.

Its works well. But once I try to read from the standard input stream
in the the client Connector's handle_timeout, I get unpredictable
behavior.

Stated again, I get the Connector Acceptor to work perfectly. Then I
drop the following 3 lines of code into the Connector's
handle_timeout().
	string test.
	cin >> test;
	cout << test << endl;
And even though I don't do anything with the "test" string it breaks
the working code: the Acceptor starts receiving messed up packets on
the Socket.

I'm expecting someone to tell me that I can't interact with the C++
input stream inside the Connector framework.
Below is information on my development environment.
