>Description:

	If you catch SIGTERM using sigaction, with the SA_RESTART
	flag set, and then send a SIGTERM to a process during a connect()
	call, the call returns with EINTR rather than restarting. It is
	unclear from the manpage what is supposed to happen - I *think*
	that this is not the intended behaviour, as I was under the
	impression that EINTR cound not be returned if SA_RESTART was set.
	But I may be totally wrong on this - though if so possibly a note
	should be made in the documentation to this effect.

>How-To-Repeat:
	send a SIGTERM to a process during a connect()

>Fix:
	Workaround is to write your code to expect this and handle it as
	you would EINPROGRESS.
