PuTTY: server infinite loop

[Dimitrie O. Paun]

On startup, PuTTY remains in an infinite loop. A run with --debugmsg +all
reveals the following repeating sequence:

[...]
000b: get_message( flags=1, get_win=(nil), get_first=00000000, get_last=ffffffff )
000b: get_message() = 0 { type=5, win=0x10048, msg=00000118, wparam=0000ffff, lparam=40f806f8, x=0, y=0, time=0049035c, info=00000000, total=0, data={} }
000b: start_hook_chain( id=3 )
000b: start_hook_chain() = 0 { handle=(nil), proc=(nil), unicode=0, module=L"" }
000b: start_hook_chain( id=6 )
000b: start_hook_chain() = 0 { handle=(nil), proc=(nil), unicode=0, module=L"" }
000b: start_hook_chain( id=-1 )

000b: set_queue_mask( wake_mask=00000040, changed_mask=0000007f, skip_wait=1 )
000b: set_queue_mask() = 0 { wake_bits=00000000, changed_bits=00000000 }
000b: select( flags=4, cookie=0x40801c18, timeout=0, handles={0x38,0x3c} )
000b: select() = PENDING

000b: select() = TIMEOUT

[the above seems to be repeated ad infinitum]
