Well, I checked the code, and it seems to wake up the thread using
pthread_kill(thread, signal) for the 'kill connection-id' command. This should
work fine also when using SO_SNDTIMEO for timeouts on the socket.

Just send the signal to the thread blocking on the socket with SO_SNDTIMEO,
and the blocking socket call will return with EAGAIN or similar.
