As Kevin Darcy said you need recursion to resolve these.

Also be warned that in an environment with no real activity like a test
environment, you are likely to get 2 second delays due to a select
loop in the socket code.  This delay only happens if it is not responding
to other queries at the same time. The delay has been reduced in 9.2.1
and will be eliminated in a future version where the socket code has been
rewritten.
