Here's the solution to the blocking sockets problem discussed earlier
on the list -- straight from the APR folks. I have tested this
solution and it works.

I expect what you're seeing is that APR thinks that O_NONBLOCK is not
inherited across accept(), although it is on OpenBSD. There is a
configure test for this, but I bet it doesn't work because binding to an
ephemeral port doesn't work on OpenBSD IIRC.
If you have all the necessary autofoo installed, you could try this
patch (then run ./buildconf):
