Shorten the timeout period when we attempt to create a connection. Add an MCA parameter to allow it to be tuned by users and admins, but default it to 0.1 seconds. Need verification by others to ensure this is adequate.
Set a more appropriate default value of 2.0 seconds
Implement Gille's suggested warning patch and fix for select returning 0. I think I'd like to keep the timeout to avoid long delays waiting for things to fail, and to support faster switchover to alternative interfaces.
