MHD should tolerate EAGAIN (and just retry), as the kernel can generate
that 'spuriously' (i.e. without good reason). Are we really terminating
the connection on EAGAIN? Is this reproducable? Can you produce a stack
trace for a case where we get an EAGAIN and then close the connection?
If we (as we should) ignore EGAIN and try again, this should be OK, and
might at worst be a kernel-level performance issue (useless context
switching).
Happy hacking!
