What's the evidence for the loop? The code below never finished the
initial handshake. You'd have to strace something to show a loop ...

If you get a hang half way through a syslog/stderr output line, something
is wrong!  But not in enbd.

You shoudl run with more channels, anyway. There's no point in only one
