Well, that's obviously badly broken. It's probably not precisely your issue,
but it's related. Since the socket is non blocking, there is no place for
this code to block waiting for the connection!

That's just pure luck.

How did you make it non blocking exactly? And is the BIO non-blocking too?

Sounds like you're lucky. The BIO is actually blocking and that's saving
your code from looping. At least you're not burning the CPU. ;)
What is your design intention if 'accept' returns EMFILE or ENFILE? If your
answer is "I have no idea" or "I never really thought about it", then it's
no surprise your code mishandles this case.
