digging further after constructing a unit test:
for conn_t's corresponding to TCP sockets, IPCL_BOUND doesn't actually
get set until bind() *and* either listen() or connect() are invoked;
this appears to be due to an interface mismatch between the socket API
and TPI.
it appears that this is only the case for TCP and not for UDP or SCTP.
I think I can live with this little oddity for now.
