Subject: BSD sockets and blocking in 10.1

SR 10.1, dn10000 or dn3500.

I notice that bsd sockets, set in AF_UNIX mode, are non-blocking by default.
In AF_INET mode, they are blocking.  

I thought they both should be blocking.  (and I can only see a way to make
them NON blocking, not the reverse; with fcntl).

Am I off base, or is this a problem?

Thanks,
