Thanks, I tested it under OS/2 now. Both the "simple" and "advanced" 
test programs work, well done! I noticed two issues when running the 
"advanced" tests, though. First, the server increases the CPU 
considerably. There seems to be a loop permanently searching for a 
file FindFirst without any sleep in between. Maybe related to 
PeekRequest calls? Second, I noticed that unlike the "simple" test, 
the "advanced" leaves a temporary file 'hello-NNNN-t' in the 
temporary directory after finishing.

Apart from that, I replaced the hard-coded '*' with a reference to 
AllFilesMask constant defined in unit System, because some of FPC 
targets need a different mask when searching for all files (that is 
not the case of OS/2, but e.g. GO32v2 would need that if not running 
on a LFN enabled system) - committed in svn trunk.
