Thanks a lot Rich for doing more research in the subject!

I also got the alternative suggestion from Bjorn Reese to set the socket to
non-blocking mode and thus be able to timeout with a select().

Would that possibly make it work better on win32 systems or systems that
don't have sigaction()? Or will those systems have problems with non-blocking
sockets? Anyone knows?
