It sounds as though you're saying that the Mac OS X (blocking) version of
connect() will hang the process and make it unkillable if you send it a
SIGINT while it's waiting for a connection to complete.

That seems pretty weird to me - is that really what's happening? (although
I must admit that I don't understand how the process could block SIGKILL
anyway).
