Jeremy Shaw already argued that the patch was incorrect, and
I am near dead certain that he is right.

It's been years since I was a Stevens expert, but there was a day
when I was, and my gut reaction to that patch was one of
shuddering horror.  In fact, I really should
argue for the complete reversal of the patch until a regression
test can conclusively prove that Window misbehaves in such
a horrid way (i.e. auto doing a reuseaddr and not using DONTROUTE).

If Windows *does* allow you to double bind an address, it can
only be the case that it does so in limited circumstances,
and we should implement those limited circumstances, rather
than applying a shotgun to the problem.

Cheers,
