"Resource temporarily unavailable" is EAGAIN, I think.  Which is documented
in Linux's man accept(2) as:

   EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK
       The socket is marked non-blocking and no connections are present to be
       accepted.

There is no guarantee that select() returning activity on a listen()ing
socket will result in a successful accept().  I'm guessing something is
making a TCP connection to this port, causing select() and friends to return
that there's work to be done, but closing the connection before unbound
accept()s.

Thanks for the fast turnaround.  I'll try it out today.
