>Description:
	recv(2) has the following description for EAGAIN:

  [EAGAIN]           The socket is marked non-blocking, and the receive
                     operation would block, or a receive timeout had been
                     set, and the timeout expired before data were
                     received.

	Improper use of commas make the sentence difficult to comprehend,
	and the word "were" should be "was".
>How-To-Repeat:
	n/a

	Patch is below.  Patch will also be available at the below URL
