Can you give an example?

Half a year ago, I was working on the problem. Socket operations get
sometimes interrupted. We have found out that it occurs sometime after
GC. It was not quite easy as the application was quite big and
situation - quite rare.

Given the fact, that current implementation of monitor reservation
code can stop other thread in quite random fashion we should have rock
solid support of EINTR handling everywhere the select(), poll() calls
is used.
