+/*++
+/* NAME
+/* sane_accept 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/* sanitize accept() error returns
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* #include <sane_accept.h>
+/*
+/* int sane_accept(sock, buf, len)
+/* int sock;
+/* struct sockaddr *buf;
+/* SOCKADDR_SIZE *len;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* sane_accept() implements the accept(2) socket call, and maps
+/* known harmless error results to EAGAIN.
+/*
+/* If the buf and len arguments are not null, then additional
+/* workarounds may be enabled that depend on the socket type.
+/* BUGS
+/* Bizarre systems may have other harmless error results. Such
+/* systems encourage programmers to ignore error results, and
+/* penalize programmers who code defensively.
+/* LICENSE
+/* .ad
