Apologies for the late response.  As quoted above, the patch changes the number of 
args passed to qt_safe_socket() so maybe that's incorrect?

In any case I think the intent was to change the call from nonblocking to 
blocking.  That seems likely to interfere with other socket or terminal I/O that 
may be expected asynchronously.

I investigated the gnuplot vs Qterm problem several years ago and found the root 
cause: deep within the Qt networking code a call to connect() wasn't expecting the 
error EINPROGRESS to be returned.  POSIX decrees this error when a nonblocking 
connect() cannot immediately be completed.  I opened a Qt BUG for this, but the Qt 
folks declined to fix.  I then tried making a Cygwin-only patch but was stymied by 
my inability to build Qt itself due to bit rot.

If we have or can get a recent Qt build completed, I can supply a patch to fix the 
issue.
