I would try to prevent blocking system calls (at least set the NONBLOCK option) and use boost.asio instead (if possible).

It also impacts code that uses libraries that have data structures protected by locks that might be held for extended periods sometimes. Most of these will be more important to a project than fibres, or indeed boost.
