According to POSIX, both read and recv shall set errno to ECONNRESET if
"[a] read was attempted on a socket and the connection was forcibly
closed by its peer." As far as I can tell, pflocal will never return
ECONNRESET.

After further study however, I do no longer believe that this is the
reason of the observed test failure, since connect already should fail.

I now have no idea why this test is failing.
