it's still not clear what's going on from this description. did you
connect() and accept() on the same socket, or they're totally
unrelated? is the socket /tmp//kfm_1002_1068BRAMSCHE_0.0 you're
connecting to being listened, or it's non-blocking socket.

no. the only difference between straced and non-straced runs is
timing. you can reduce strace-induced delays by supplying '-b 65535'
option to strace. this turns on output buffering.

the most helpful thing (besides patch, of course) is a small
independent code snippet that allows reproducing the problem.
