Maybe I'm missing something, but since the InputStream in question comes
from a Socket (via socket.getInputStream()), why can't we just set the
timeout
on the socket, and do a blocking read?

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#setSoTime
out(int)

Of course, we would have to save the old timeout and restore it.
