--- Comment #2 from Lutz Vieweg (lvml@....de) ---
Using tcpdump I found that when the connect() stalls, the initial SYN packet
appears at the "lo" interface, and is re-sent multiple times, but no ACK packet
is ever returned.

Error case with linux-4.10:

> 12:57:25.685640 IP 127.0.0.1.44074 > 127.0.0.1.dnp-sec: Flags [S], seq
> 1952288470, win 43690, options [mss 65495,sackOK,TS val 1942998659 ecr
> 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
> 12:57:26.728890 IP 127.0.0.1.44074 > 127.0.0.1.dnp-sec: Flags [S], seq
> 1952288470, win 43690, options [mss 65495,sackOK,TS val 1942999703 ecr
> 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0
> 12:57:28.776935 IP 127.0.0.1.44074 > 127.0.0.1.dnp-sec: Flags [S], seq

...

Normal case:

> 13:01:43.037135 IP 127.0.0.1.44362 > 127.0.0.1.dnp-sec: Flags [S], seq
> 3181010757, win 43690, options [mss 65495,sackOK,TS val 3314900273 ecr

> 13:01:43.037171 IP 127.0.0.1.dnp-sec > 127.0.0.1.44362: Flags [S.], seq
> 1934682061, ack 3181010758, win 43690, options [mss 65495,sackOK,TS val
> 2947413993 ecr 3314900273,nop,wscale 7], length 0
> 13:01:43.037196 IP 127.0.0.1.44362 > 127.0.0.1.dnp-sec: Flags [.], ack 1, win

According to strace, the listening process does not even leave the select()
call it uses to wait for incoming connections to accept in the error case.
