Gah, this is really a dante bug, thats soo lame.
I'm horrified by what they are doing..
This is an artifact of them *still* not wrappering select which means the
entire reason for non-blocking connects is defeated.. The whole thing is
going to work shodily, connect errors will show up on reads, which is
definately the wrong place for them.
Swapping the order of getsockname and the login at the end of the function
should be sufficient to hide the problem, could you test this?
But really, the APT code is correct, it is dante that (continues) to be
flawed in its support for non-blocking connects.
