increase of EINTR on accept()

On migrating from HP-UX 10.20 to 11.0 we have found code which used to run without error, now seems to be subject to a lot of EINTR's before finally accept()ing successfully.

The code has always followed the recommended practice of embedding the accept() in a loop, so the situation is handled, but does anyone know why these errors occur or why they should suddenly occur more after the HP-UX version upgrade, and if anything can be done about this? Can this point to some sort of system configuration issue?

Re: increase of EINTR on accept()

The Transport Stack of 11.00 drastically differs from the 10.20 implementation. So a lot of things changed. However, if you get EINTR, what signal was sent to the process? Maybe this sheds some light on the symptom.

Best regards...
