I'm not sure this is correct. I've tried to /make/ a SIGALRM cause
connect to errno==EINTR, but I can't cause this condition. I suspect
you have another signal being raised that is causing your symptom.
FTR, the textbook definition[1] of EINTR error for connect is:

The attempt to establish a connection was interrupted by delivery
of a signal that was caught; the connection will be established
asynchronously.

Please check the attached prog to see if it is representative of your
code relating to the connect error you're seeing. If it is, please
run it and see if you can get it to cause the EINTR error from connect.
If you can't I'm more certain that you have a problem elsewhere.

cheers.
