Yeah, good points. I'm hoping that #1 is a matter of using the right posix / socket APIs (correctly). Generally, these APIs are the same across all platforms we support, I just don't know what it is we're doing that "breaks" things on non-linux systems (but I'm guessing we're doing something Linux specific stuff where we ought to use something portable). -- Leif
