It's an error returned by the system accept() call. We call accept when
select()/poll() tell us to. So if we get an error we display it (with
one exception: EWOULDBLOCK, which tells us there are no more incoming
connections).

So, to understand what that error means, consult your Solaris
documentation. We (the squid developers) would like a canonical answer.

However, the best answer we have now, and we have no reason to doubt it,
is that the user hits stop or closes their browser in a very small gap:
after the connection has been started, but before squid has called
accept().
