This smells alot like syscall restarting.  The first two times the
syscall fails with one of ERESTARTNOHAND, ERESTARTSYS or ERESTARTNOINTR,
then the third time is fails with EAFNOSUPPORT.

Enable CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV.

The only bug here is strace being to stupid to filter out syscall restarts.
