- Waiting on a brand new socket (neither listen nor connect called)
  completes immediately with HUP status on Linux. However on FreeBSD/osx
  it never completes.

- Attempting to connect to a port bound on a loopback interface which is
  not yet listening yield ECONNREFUSED in blocking mode on Linux. On
  FreeBSD/osx blocking connect never completes ("never" means it doesn't
  complete in a reasonable time).

- Calling shutdown() on a listening socket works in Linux but in
  FreeBSD/osx it doesn't.
