Synopsis: make_sock does a bind before the setsockopt's State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Mon Aug 18 23:28:15 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: This has hopefully been resolved in the current source tree; 1.2.3 will contain a better fix when released.
The reason why we had to work around things is because Solaris has some _very_ brain-dead socket code that is simply horribly horribly broken. The way things are done in 1.2.1 causes problems with HUPs. If it works for you, then it works for you.
