Why does it return that 10-20 times? Do you call it immediately in a
busy-loop?

What function blocks with a non-blocking socket? That surely can't hang on the
recv() then at least...

I've done quite a lot of tests with non-blocking and I've not seen this, and
I've also got reports from others who've done the libcurl-based (~30) tests
without experiencing this. It might indicate that the problem happens only in
more specific situations, like with a particular server on a particular OS or
something else...
