First part of efficiency fixes for message sending to pid's (cutting down

the amount of time we hold tdb locks). Gulp down all messages at once rather
than reading/re-writing one at a time. NOTE: All dispatch routines *must*
be able to cope with incoming message on *odd* byte boundaries (all current
handlers do).
