2.2-GAMMA has
while ((so->so_state & SS_ISCONNECTING) && so->so_error == 0) {
error = tsleep((caddr_t)&so->so_timeo, PSOCK | PCATCH,
"connec", 0);
in kern/uipc_syscalls.c. Thus, "connec" shows up if you do a control-T (or
whatever you have status set to) while something is waiting there.
"connec" is *really* annoying. Why isn't it "connect"? It used to be
either "netcon" or "connect" -- "connec" is worse than "netcon" (because it
looks like a typo), and "connect" is certainly better than "connec" as well.
(And since it is in the system call connect, having it say "connect" makes
sense as well. But even "netcon" is better.)
It's not because of the number of characters -- "running" (what you get when
a process is active) has just as many characters as "connect".
Sean.
