So I guess this is all about what the usual socket error code
semantics work, which is report-and-clear.

States which should signal errors are always checked in the
various code socket call paths and if necessary the socket
error is resignalled.

state isn't resampled at the appropriate spot.  So I would rather
see that fixed rather than having socket errors become level
triggered in this special case.
