 Hi Mikolaj--
 
 Indeed, this looks very like the ENOTCONN issue in kern/144061 -- =
 another indication that a bit more refinement is required in the =
 synchronization for our socket-layer state machine. Unfortunately, not =
 an issue we'll likely address in a general sense until 9.0. However, a =
 similar workaround to kenr/144061 does sound like the solution -- I'll =
 get this new regression test in the tree, as well as the workaround, =
 tomorrow, with the hopes of making 8.1.
 
 Thanks all!
 
 Robert
