When I went through this exercise a while ago my solution was to make sure
I 'kicked' (ie, started another comm read event) the server side if
all the clients had read all the data they could (and thus -someone- had to
kickstart an IO event.)

I think your patch is right considering you've gone down the path of
having deferred reads. The above tidbit is just something to keep in mind.
