Below is a simple workaround.  How does that sound?

A better fix would be to poll(2) on the underlying AF_NETLINK socket.
In fact, we could also implement something like systemd’s
‘network-online.target’ by doing that.  For that we’d need Guile-Netlink
to let us create SOCK_NONBLOCK sockets and to use real ports instead of
raw file descriptors; Fibers would then take care of the rest.

Thoughts?
