/* NAME
/*	sane_connect 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	sanitize connect() results
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <sane_connect.h>
/*
/*	int	sane_connect(sock, buf, len)
/*	int	sock;
/*	struct sockaddr	*buf;
/*	SOCKADDR_SIZE *len;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	sane_connect() implements the connect(2) socket call, and maps
/*	known harmless error results to EAGAIN.
/* BUGS
/*	Bizarre systems may have other harmless error results. Such
/*	systems encourage programmers to ignore error results, and
/*	penalize programmers who code defensively.

     * timer.
