Comment (by anonymous):

 For my own use, I found that simply inserting:

 if (ec) return true;

 at line 524 of boost/asio/detail/impl/socket_ops.ipp (i.e. in
 non_blocking_connect() after the check for error::already_started and
 before calling getsockopt()) has proven to be a reasonable workaround.
 Again, as I do not understand the intent of the changes from 1.53.0, I am
 not sure that this is the correct bugfix, so YMMV.
