Yes, I do. Albeit it is unlikely in your code that a signal would ever occur,
the common Unix idiom is to handle EINTR like EAGAIN, since EINTR is not
a failure indication, its just that the operation was interrupted by some
signal occuring and couldn't be completed this time.
Therefore, imho, trying again is much more sensible,
otherwise you kill your client connection for no reason, and run 
the risk of losing a QSO (or, worse, a GAB)...

(When reading through my mails again and again, you might notice I'm
sounding like an advanced case of paranoia, but hey, thats OK :)

On a related note, Olivier, will you be in Friedrichshafen at Ham Radio
next weekend?
