    Problem Text
    The IR claims that the connect() is blocking because no accept()
    as been performed.

    The implementation of the assertion is not portable.

    The AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM test on this assertion is FAILED because
    the connect() issued from the server failed with errno EINTR.

    connect() for AF_UNIX sockets has a slightly different implementation
    than connect() for AF_INET sockets. AF_UNIX does not complete a
    connection until the accept is done on the server side. (AF_INET, on
    the other hand, would complete the connection and return a zero return
    value as soon as the listen is done on the server side.)

    Since this testcase never issues an accept on the server side
    the connect call will never complete. It waits until it finally times
    out and sends a signal to interrupt the request and fails with EINTR.
    Test Output
    TEST PURPOSE #17
    If the implementation supports the AF_UNIX
    communications domain and a connection-oriented socket
    type:
    EACCES in errno and return -1 on a call to int
    connect(int socket, const struct sockaddr *address,
    size_t address_len) when the address family of the
    socket is AF_UNIX and write access is denied to the
    named socket.
    TEST: AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    We believe the test is correct.

    Blocking during the connect indicates that the connect() accepted
    the address specified as valid and is waiting for the connect()
    to complete.

    The issue of requiring an accept() call before the connect() will
    complete is not meaningful since the connect() should never reach
    the point of attempting the connection.

    The spec requires that connect() return EACCESS when write access
    is denied to the named socket.
