I don't see that it's an error.  On non-blocking sockets you have to
expect that connect() returns before being connected.  Just because
other systems are so quick figuring out that nothing is listening on
the other side, this doesn't invalidate the EINPROGRESS response under,
well, slower conditions.

And, btw., SUSv3 doesn't say a word that EINPROGRESS is not a valid
response for AF_LOCAL sockets.
