Hi All,

We have come across a peculiar problem while setting up sockets for
connection.

1) We make the socket non-blocking 
2) give it an invalid port to connect to on the localhost.
3) errno is correctly set to EINPROGRESS
4) Doing a select on the socket waits indefinetly!!

Attached is code that displays this  behaviour. This code works as
expected on linux.

Also if we check for socket error using  getsockopt before we do a select,
no error is returned. On linux it correctly returns 'Connection refused'.

Any Ideas??

Anurag
