glitch ;-) > I will see if there are other methods to suppress the warning without > disabling ipv6 support in the config. Seeing that ipV6 is still an exotic matter (except for maybe Japan) I would rather stick with the majority. I looked into the code, unfortunately the creation of individual sockets is dispersed across a number of functions. Some functions have comments which suggest that a failed socket call is _not_ an error. This rather puzzles me, as it suggests a bad socket descriptor and may lead to multiple sockets using the same descriptor.... fuzzy but not warm. But I may have missed the recovery code. cheers Erich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
