Comment:

 Sorry, but it *does* work the way it should.

      SO_SNDTIMEO is an option to set a timeout value for output
 operations.
      It accepts a struct timeval argument with the number of seconds and
      microseconds used to limit waits for output operations to complete.
 If a
      send operation has blocked for this much time, it returns with a
 partial
      count or with the error EWOULDBLOCK if no data were sent.

 If delivering the result takes longer than send_timeout, we give up.

 That is why the default is 10 minutes.

 We can soon agree that it is not the behaviour we really want or need, but
 it is the only behaviour the POSIX and kernels offer us.
