<pre><span style="color:black">It's not guaranteed that you will receive an error from a send (of any kind other than ssend). The reason is that the implementation can buffer the message internally and return to the application before the message is actually transferred. You will definitely receive an error related to any kind of receive, but sends are less reliable in that sense.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>
