Maybe my tone was unclear, but I'm not hugely keen to provide more effort on this -- despite being interested -- because I feel like I've been running errands to try to find a good path through, when in fact I don't really understand the nature of the problem, nor am I likely to benefit much from it. But if improvement is possible, I'll do what I can. That said: perhaps it could be useful if someone could check whether the following commit is relevant to this: https://github.com/libuv/libuv/commit/18c7530a75d813801f819caae4dff47fc4a1d4a1
