giampaolo: did you ever rewrite the patch?

For reference to other users:

Note the complexity of the two handle_accept implementations in that file; both of them begin:
        try:
            sock, addr = self.accept()
        except TypeError:
            # sometimes accept() might return None (see issue 91)
            return
        except socket.error, err:
            # ECONNABORTED might be thrown on *BSD (see issue 105)
            if err[0] != errno.ECONNABORTED:
                logerror(traceback.format_exc())
            return
        else:
            # sometimes addr == None instead of (ip, port) (see issue 104)
            if addr == None:
                return
