As you've seen, Joe, it's not obvious right away what the problem is, so 
that proposal is not quite sufficient. Do you suggest that if an explicit 
call to make a blocking IO is made and apr ignored it silently it's a 
correct behavior? Or do you suggest that there is no possible way to 
detect that that call has failed, and therefore it can't report the failure?
