Quick update/question. In my event callback, (what & BEV_EVENT_ERROR)
is true. However, neither BEV_EVENT_READING nor BEV_EVENT_WRITING seem
to be set. As I mentioned earlier, EVUTIL_SOCKET_ERROR is not helpful
either. I'll send a sample track trace shortly, but in the meantime,
if I see a BEV_EVENT_ERROR but none of the other flags are set, any
suggestions on what might be happening?
