Please read what I write, then try to understand it.  Then read the 
documentation on getaddrinfo() and bind(), and *then* read the source.

And if you then still think it's a bug, send a patch.

(Actually, *printing this message* could be considered a bug, as it spurs
non-useful discussions.  But the code itself, convoluted as it may be,
does the right thing in most cases we can programmatically detect - there
is a few linux edge cases where we can't)
