(Phobos - SocketStream) Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

If I were you, I'd just try the looped version because there might be a bug. 
I seem to recall that the stream stuff in some places gets defined to return 
on out of data conditions. (BTW this would be consistent with the liked named 
"read" function from posix.)

Looking into the code (Stream.read() and SocketStream.readBlock()) it doesn't 
block if there isn't enough data. 

If this is a code bug or a documentation deficiency is another question.
