In the file "kdc/network.c", in the function "listen_and_process",
there is a "while" loop, some socket code, and a couple of calls to
"process_packet". There is also a variable called "errcount". From
the following code...
This is leftover from a technique which prevented select spin loops;
this can happen when you select on a file decriptor belonging to a
closed tcp stream.
However, it's not really needed for a loop that's selecting on UDP
sockets, so it should be safe to remove it all.
