Oh right, that's true indeed. Some parts of the code are not yet done the
right way and are still performing their duties in blocking manner.

Enabling socket-level timeouts is however only a half fix: it will make the
code honor timeouts, but it will still block the thread in a way it shouldn't.

I'm not convinced adding timeouts all over to try to "paint over" the problem
is a good idea.

Can you elaborate on what exact problem you're having/seeing/experiencing that
you want to fix this this patch?
