Scratch

I've been playing with the new experimental Remote Sensor capability.  I wrote a short Python script that continually sends the system time to the Scratch client where the Scratch Cat reports it out.  It works great...in development mode.  When I go to Production mode, the updates stop.  Returning back to development mode, all the updates come through in one big rush, like they were being buffered. 

I then tested this on the sample networking project (it plays a few notes, then waits for updates from Scratch) and noticed the same behavior.  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?  Thanks.
