Interrupted System Calls

I'm on a brand new OSX (leopard) mutt-devel install, and every time I
try to send an
email via smtp, I get the following:

Could not connect to gmail.com (Interrupted system call).

This happens consistently, and the only hack I've been able to find is
the following:  http://bugs.mutt.org/trac/ticket/2059
http://linsec.ca/blog/2007/04/30/new-mutt-1515-has-a-very-nice-new-feature/

However, this is pretty hacky, and this is a flat out mutt-devel install via
ports, so don't have much in the way of extra services which could be
competing (afaik).

Any suggestions are welcome,
Thanks !

As you've read, the interrupt is usually a timeout. If you're getting 
the timeout right away, try increasing the timeout. If you're getting 
the timeout after a couple seconds, maybe your smtp url isn't right. 
Let's see it (don't send the password, of course).

I use Leopard, and my smtp_url setting is 
"smtp://kyle:XXXXX <at> smtp.memoryhole.net/"

Where do you get the idea that there's some sort of competition 
involved?

Update your system! Mine is Darwin 9.2.2. You never know, it could be 
an OSX bug that got fixed.

Re: Interrupted System Calls

Gah !  Kyle FTW !

My smtp_url was in incorrectly formatted...
Incorrect:  smtp_url=smtp://smtp.gmail.com:587:dylanstamat <at> gmail.com/
Correct:  smtp_url=smtp://dylanstamat <at> gmail.com <at> smtp.gmail.com:587

No idea where I got that incorrect format from.  I'm going to blame it on
some ill-configured muttrc that wanders the internet at night.

That... and yeah, my system is on the old kernel :)
Thanks for the help Kyle !
