The problem I was having "went away" when I moved to another Solaris 2.6 machine with the latest patch level. <br
/>I'vealso tested it on Solaris 8, HP-UX 11.00 and Linux, so it looks like there is a connect bug in a release 2.6, <br
/>butseems to be fixed with later patches. <p>Thanks for the help. <p>Joe <p>Tom Lane wrote: <blockquote

(connect(conn->sock,&conn->raddr.sa, conn->raddr_len) < 0) <br /> { <br /> if (SOCK_ERRNO ==
EINTR)<br /> /* Interrupted system call - we'll just try again */ <br /> goto retry1; <p>
if(SOCK_ERRNO == EINPROGRESS || SOCK_ERRNO == EWOULDBLOCK || SOCK_ERRNO == 0) <br /> { <br /> /* <br

/> */ <br /> conn->status = CONNECTION_STARTED; <br /> } <br /> else <br
/> { <br /> /* Something's gone wrong */ <br /> connectFailureMessage(conn, SOCK_ERRNO);
<br/> goto connect_errReturn; <br /> } <p>I wonder whether it's really a good idea to treat errno ==
0as <br />indicating "connection in progress". Does anyone know of a platform <br />where zero is actually what is
returnedin this case? The man pages <br />I can find all say that EINPROGRESS is returned. <p>
