Any good news on TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT? If timeout handling is broken
in the kernel, I propose that it's better to just put in a
select-before-read patch for now, and later retrofit support for
TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT when timeouts work. (And for Solaris, the
select-before-read solution is probably the long term solution
anyway.)
