Earlier libbeagle attempted to create a blocking connection. That had
some other issues and in general a non-blocking mode is preferred. So
I tried to emulate the blocking mode by attempting several
non-blocking connection-sleep-retry. But for some reason, this causes
a lot of EAGAIN in connect() even though there is (as reported by
other people) no apparent activity. I havent been able to resolve this
mystery yet.

Strace log in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556107
Relevant unix socket code in
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/beagle/trunk/libbeagle/beagle/beagle-request.c?view=markup
(function _beagle_connect_timeout)

If anyone can spot anything wrong in the unix socket connection code,
then I will appreciate any help in fixing the problem.

Thanks,
