I just used write (), and it returns 360 ETIMEDOUT.  This is slightly
better.  I (me alone ;) ) would expect that an ETIMEDOUT error should
only occur when the connection is still there but there is no response
from the other end.

When this happens on Linux or windows though, I do actually get a
ECONNRESET.  I'm not positive about the Linux side, but windows
definitely does.
