With the following diff, test_xmlrpc.py passes without problems.

Like I said, someone else should decide where to turn on blocking mode.
I now think that it should be in the socket.accept (i.e. in the C code)
at least for unix platforms.
Those who really want a nonblocking socket, will most probably call that
setblocking(0) anyway (or their program is broken on linux, which
returns blocking sockets by default).
