With regard to LINUX accept() returning benign error results other
than the usual suspects (EAGAIN or EINTR), Todor Tuparov asked:

I understand that with LINUX 2.1.x the accept() call will not wake
up before the TCP three-way handshake is complete.
But for now, it is up to the programmer to deal with benign error
returns such as: ECONNREFUSED, ECONNRESET, EHOSTDOWN, EHOSTUNREACH,
ENETDOWN, ENETUNREACH, ENOTCONN, and to treat them just like EAGAIN.
