Ok, the problem was that synapse used an integer instead of a timeval 
for SO_SNDTIMEO/SO_RCVTIMEO. I don't want to rewrite synapse and I want 
my program to work at least under windows and linux, so the nonblocking 
way is not an option.
*However* that's not my problem: I expect that a close would interrupt 
the socket operation (so the thread can terminate) and it doesn't.
