If EAGAIN means both "there is no data available" and "your data got
mangled" how is one supposed to decide if there was an error or not?

I would think that the code would have to assume the best and not
scroll a line of warning every time a read returned empty-handed.  As
it is now, there are times I get hundreds of these warnings (under
openbsd) when I make sip calls to a busy number and it rolls over to
voicemail.
