Summary: TimeOut with wxSocketBase on Linux

Initial Comment:

With wxGTK, when a timeout occurs it raises
wxSOCKET_IOERR instead of wxSOCKET_TIMEDOUT (like wxMSW
does)

Here is a sample on code in a thread main entry.

It opens a connection to server mpServer on port mpPort
and read data. It test with SSH (port=22) with
wxWidgets 2.6.3 and Linux Fedora Core 3.

    ExitCode Entry()
	{
		wxLogDebug("Thread Entry");
		
		
		mpSocket = new wxSocketClient(wxSOCKET_NONE |
wxSOCKET_BLOCK);
        

		wxIPV4address adr;
		adr.Hostname(mpServer);
		adr.Service(mpPort);
		mpSocket->SetTimeout(1);
		mpSocket->Connect(adr, true);
		if (!mpSocket->IsConnected())
		{
			wxLogError("Connection fails");
			return NULL;
		}


		
		const wxUint32 BUF_SIZE = 512;
		wxByte buffer[BUF_SIZE];	
		while (!TestDestroy())
		{
			mpSocket->Read(buffer, BUF_SIZE);
			if (mpSocket->Error())
			{
				wxSocketError err = mpSocket->LastError();
				if (err == wxSOCKET_TIMEDOUT)
				{
					wxLogDebug("Timeout!");
					continue;
				}
				else 
				{
					wxLogDebug("Error in socket: %d", err);
					break;
				}
			}
			else
			{
				wxLogDebug("Read %d bytes", mpSocket->LastCount());
			}
		}
		wxLogDebug("Thread ends");

		return NULL;
	}

I just ran into this bug in wxGTK 2.6.3, then found out that it has been
fixed in src/unix/gsocket.cpp rev. 1.52
<http://cvs.wxwidgets.org/viewcvs.cgi/wxWidgets/src/unix/gsocket.cpp#rev1.52>,
so I suppose this tracker item can be closed.

I'll take a look at it while I rewrite for SoC.
