Comment(by nickm):

 Not necessarily ''all'' socket.errors.  In fact, probably most don't.

 ECONNRESET is a special case, in fact: it happens when the other side
 closes the connection, or the connection explodes, or such. That *could*
 be a protocol violation, or it could mean that the Tor dies, or a lot of
 stuff.  Tor isn't supposed to close control connections without being told
 to do so, so you could plausibly call it a protocolerror, but it might
 make sense to treat it however we currently handle closed connections.
