The audit trail refers to a problem inside Linux.

Is that still an issue these days?

The problem is with the Linux Bluetooth stack and not with avrdude.  Pyserial has the same problem.  The root cause is that RFCOMM sends ENOTCONN for non-blocking connections. POSIX requires either EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK if the connection may eventually succeed.  ENOTCONN indicates a permanent failure.

See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060457 and http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/42303

The fix is to use a Linux kernel with a non-broken Bluez stack.

When using bluetooth serial devices for uploading, and using `rfcomm bind` to connect those devices when the /dev/rfcomm0 file is opened, avrdude doesn't allow enough time for the device to connect before failing.

If avrdude reads first, then the device has time to connect, but it seems that avrdude performs a ser_send first.  This patch adds 10 retries when ENOTCONN (107) "Transport endpoint is not connected" is returned as the errno for the send
