Let me get this straight, just so I understand the behavior:
1. socket is marked non-blocking.
2. connect() is made, does not immediately succeed, returns EINPROGRESS
3. connect() call is repeatedly made, EALREADY is returned.
4. connection finally established, connect() returns EISCONN
Is this the correct/desired behavior?
