Hi,

When using the built-in poller on OSX, there is an occasional condition whereby a client thread (thread 1) which attempts to connect a socket asynchronously does not get called back. This locks up the client until the connect operation times out.

This doesn't happen with the libevent poller. The frequency of occurrence of the problem can be increased by adding time delays in the client code, so it's more than likely a timing issue (maybe the poller invoking the callback too early?).

Here are the stack traces:
