Can't bind to TCP socket. The tcp module loads but I noticed that it only tries to bind the socket AFTER it has dropped is privs so it can not bind to a socket less than 1024. UDP bind works as that seems to bind immediately after module load while the prog is still running as root. If I set a tcp port >1024, it works. Could this be a race between two threads where a different thread is setting the UID/GID and a different one is binding the connections and the UID gets changed before the binding thread has a chance to get the socket?
