I'd verified this a while back, but just had not got around to writing it up. An analogous behavior occurs with respect to stop signals (see lower in the signal(7) page), if timeouts have been set. Basically, a SO_SNDTIMEO timeout will affect connect() and send*(), and a SO_RCVTIMEO timeout will affect accept() and recv*(). For man-pages-3.12, I've updated the page to note these points. Thanks for your report!
