I don't see that. But if there is a bug in the Android port, fix the 
Android port.

I refuse to hack the UDP access unless there is a bug in the UDP 
access. If there is a bug in the UDP access, then it needs to be 
described correctly, and there is no need to touch the FIFO code.

Either way, this patch looks wrong.
