Log Message:	UDPReader and UDPReaderThread have been altered to prevent a serious problem whereby the system ran out of free memory after a certain amount of UDP packets had been received. Testing with XMLSender2 has revealed that this problem has been solved. There is now little chance of the UDPReader rejecting packets as it queues each arrival straight to the UDPReaderThread, thus making "event storms" managable. In fact, the queuing nature may even assist in quenching such problems.
