What I remember is this: Deep inside APR, the socket module attempts
to cache socket option information (such as blocking flags) in order
to reduce the number of system calls made. On the OpenBSD platform,
the state of a socket's non blocking flag was different from the
initial state assumed (and cached) by APR. Because the initial cached
copy was wrong, attempts to set the flag to the correct value would
fail to cause an actual system call ... therefore the blocking state
never actually changed.
