Hi Stephen,

I agree with EAGAIN error case as I was able to test this scenario and 
check the statistics.

Can we get an EINTR error in case of a nonblocking operation 
(MSG_DONTWAIT flag is being used)? Is this a common situation and will 
the gain justify the cost of an additional check? Do you have any 
suggestions for how I could test this scenario?

Thanks,
Flavia
