Having problems on AIX

I have boost 1.36 installed on AIX5.3 (I know, a legacy requirement for now) and use xlC, the IBM compiler. I have built the sample client and server examples and they all work between some different Linux machines.
I have the server example built on AIX as well and it runs but does not display any messages from a linux client.
When I run up Wireshark to see what is going on, I get a TCP Window Update after the [PSH, ACK] which implies that the server is not emptying the buffer quick enough.
Has anybody had any experience using RCF on AIX or am I on my own? BTW, I did have to remove the MSG_NOSIGNAL from the read as AIX does not support that. I hope I am not getting signal issues.

RCF uses Boost.Asio internally for networking, so I would suggest compiling and running some Boost.Asio TCP samples. If you can get those to work, we can surely get RCF to work as well.
