Hi Ian,

Your bug report & patch is basically to work around EAGAIN returned from
socket write calls, correct?  EAGAIN is returned basically when the
socket is set to O_NONBLOCK and you have attempted a read/write on the
socket when it is not ready for that operation.  The error simply means
try again later, probably because the kernel socket buffer (or cygwin
buffer layer in-between) is full and preventing the application from
writing to it.

So the question is, why is this happening, especially when the APR
network IO code appears to be checking for EAGAIN?  I have some network
code that does occasionally get EAGAIN from socket read & write system
calls, despite the fact that my event loop said that the socket was
ready for more IO.  I basically do what you have done and just ignore
that return value and wait for the event loop to tell me the socket is
ready again.
