signal.7: Timeouts make socket interfaces non-restartable
...
If setsockopt() is used to set a timeout on a socket(),
then the various socket interfaces are not automatically
restarted, even if SA_RESTART is specified when
establishing the signal handler. Analogous behavior occurs
for the "stop signals" case.
