Linux-specific socket behaviour. In particular, default socket buffer =
sizes are different (call setsockopt() with SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF), =
and while Linux's send() blocks when the socket buffer is full, =
FreeBSD's will fail and set ENOBUFS in errno.

Well, according to the man pages in linux and fbsd the bsd behavior is =
right. I was looking into this long time ago with some red hat linux.
