Comment:
How do you know that there is data waiting to be read? If you can
construct a test case feel free to reopen this bug.
With respect to your "isavailable()" proposal, you already have this
facility available using asynchronous reads (with or without using
null_buffers) or by setting your socket to non-blocking.
N.B The Microsoft KB article is not related to the behaviour you describe.
In fact, the article seems to describe ioctl/FIONREAD working as intended.
