 Hi Mikolaj and Robert,
 
 Thanks for following up on this issue!

 Indeed, it is not.
 
 > I am attaching the patch, which may not be a solution
 
 IMHO, it is not, unfortunately, a solution:  it seems to clear ECONNRESET
 blindly and w/o distinguishing the situation when the remote end closes the
 connection prematurely (i.e. before acknowledging all data written from the
 local end) -- and that qualifies for the true "connection reset by peer"
 from close()...
