I'd guess it's the new socket 'cos the previous paragraph of the
man page talks about protocols which require explicit confirmation,
which can be caused by reading or writing to the socket. I'd guess
it's just indicating that recvmsg with a zero iovlen doesn't count
as a read or write.

If it does work, it would mean that we could use tcp wrappers on
`stream wait' services, among other things. Maybe we need an API
for this.
