	Is, as is implied in the 'Programming Enviroment Reference' manual,
the use of asynchronous socket i/o (using fcntl, select and signal) not
possible under SR10.1 (and SR10.0.p)?  If this is true when will it be
implemented, or does an update exist to patch this potentially serious ommision?
	My problem stems from an fcntl call returning the error 'No such file
or directory' when applied to a known (UNIX) socket - although this is a valid
error, it does not appear to be a valid fcntl error.
