how to avoid recv() blocking issue?

hi all,

i got a problem with recv().

there's a thread to receive data from a server. periodically this thread has
to stop (to let others to do some work). i created some events to check them
inside the thread. the problem happens, when recv() starts and does not
receive any data from a server. this time the thread is stuck - recv() just
waits for data, and i can't stop the thread well (not using
TerminateThread() - btw, it's not a good idea, because a socket remains
"anchored" by the thread).

is there any way to "unblock" recv() somehow? WSAEventSelect() does not
help. looks like it's for different purposes.

thanks a lot.
