Hello,

if I create a UDP socket, use setsockopt(SO_BROADCAST) to
allow broadcasts to come in, and bind to the IP address of my
interface, I don't receive any UDP broadcasts.
If I bind to INADDR_ANY, I receive the broadcasts.
The fix for this (in net/ipv4/udp.c: udp_v4_mcast_next())
would be quite simple, so I think this somewhat unexpected
behaviour must be deliberate.
Can anybody explain why it is so?

Thanks,
  Detlef
