The thing is, it seems to be a problem only on an unreachable local
address. External network addresses are resolved pretty quickly.
As Mr. Hodel pointed out, it may be a resolver issue. One could bind
ioctlsocket() on Windows but I doubt that'd help since the call seems
to block interruptions as well.
As a workaround, I'd suggest not connecting to unreachable local
addresses :) [1]
