[PVFS-developers] IOD error processing desing issue

[Rob Ross]

Hi Alexandr,

To (rather belatedly) answer your question, there have been problems with 
SIGURG/OOB data in the past on some machines, and we had to handle socket 
closes anyway, so we chose to use the simpler approach.

Hope this helps,

Rob
