It does seem that fixing that helped a lot, it now runs alot happier
on Mac OS X.

I changed the v_n_wait_for_incoming() function to return the number
of microseconds it ran for, and also the loop snipped above but
quoted in the original message, so it uses that return value for
its timing accounting.
