Tim:
   I just wanted to let you know that your hunch was correct.  It took 
me a little while to track down the system thread that was doing it, but 
I found it eventually and changed it so it was created with 
sys_thread_new().

   Now I can send a discover message, I get and offer back, I send a 
request, and I get an ack, but then I make another request again, get an 
ack back, make a request.. ad infinitum... So I've still got a bit of 
work left before everything works right.  I'm getting there though.
