ok, I capitulate with the hyphen :). But after reading CMS 7.90 and
8.170, http://amaediting.blogspot.com/2008/07/hyphenated-prefixes.html
and http://www.nyu.edu/classes/copyXediting/Hyphens.html , and talking
to more native speakers, I would say that everything seems to be evolving
to closed prefixes.

So as weird as it looks, I'd propose "nonblocking" as the way to go (I
guess I should like it as a German). Any opinions on this?

Best,
  Torsten
