Hm... that might work. IMO it should be easy for a program to find
out what happened (non-blocking connect doesn't work in this case), so
it can perform a certain remedy (doing a blocking connect instead). A
specific error "nowait-not-supported" could be the solution.
Does anyone argue against this?
