Calling #loop before any operations hangs, rather than failing

[mpalmer]

The following (Ruby) code hangs reliably:

require 'hyperdex'
c = HyperDex::Client::Client.new('localhost', 1982)
c.loop

I would expect c.loop to raise an exception instead, the same way this code does:

require 'hyperdex'
c = HyperDex::Client::Client.new('localhost', 1982)
c.get(:test, 0)
c.loop

The above examples are in Ruby, because that's the bindings I'm using, but based on my examination of the Ruby bindings code, I can't see any reason why this behaviour should be Ruby-specific, and I expect it'll be broadly reproducible in any language.
