Not so sure. The reason I brought this up was because I tried the same test
(as I wrote before using select()) with recv(), and it returns -1 when
interrupted by an APC, which is ok, but errno is 0, and WSA/GetLastError
returns 997 (ERROR_IO_PENDING). [EINTR or WSAEINTR would have been nice].
Presumably send() also misbehaves.

Seems like it might actually be something to consider.
