Is there anyway of reading some data from a UDP socket without removing
it from the received queue?  What I need to do is read in the header
from a packet to determine how large of a memory chunk I need to
allocate.

Thanks,
Chuck

I suggest you to have a fixed size for your header, then you can read 
the header that ll say you about the rest of data following the header.
