OK, so do you understand the sequence of the events well enough to
describe what happens, and explain why we get so many EAGAIN errors?
I'm not yet sure this is bug, maybe it's just how things are in this
case (modulo exerting less CPU load, something that we certainly
should try).

Also, does this happen with every server, or just with some?

Thanks.
