...and now i know why i got this error under HP-UX and not the other
operating systems.
HP-UX defines EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK as different errors
#define EAGAIN 11 /* No more processes */
#define EWOULDBLOCK 246 /* Operation would block */
while the others just mix them together.
#define EAGAIN 11 /* Resource temporarily unavailable */
#define EWOULDBLOCK EAGAIN
As EWOULDBLOCK is handled, an EAGAIN is handled too, while under HP-UX it
slips through.

Greetings from Munich,
