I don't see any way to make that work in combination with -w.

Also, I wasn't around when that support was added, but it feels like a
remarkable amount of effort for a regular network daemon to go to,
suggesting that our design made a wrong turn somewhere along the line.
(I'm not proposing to rip it out at this time, though.)

My changes to network.c are minimal--just making UDP listening sockets
nonblocking and ignoring EAGAIN errors in process_packet().
