isSSM() is definitely returning true.  Any thoughts on what I could be
doing to encourage this?  This seems to be the only issue preventing the
UDP mode from working-- although I have discovered numerous other issues
with our code (especially the fact that we block your scheduler).

That's fair enough.  Once I have the scheduler blocking issue resolved,
I'll reach out.  We do need some help and we certainly have budget for it.

Thanks again for your help.
