(usagi-users 03624) Re: IPv6 multicast socket specific binding bug

[David Stevens <dlstevens@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hoerdt,
        You're saying you don't like the way multicast socket semantics
were defined more than 15 years ago.
        I think it's an equally valid argument that you shouldn't use 
INADDR_ANY
unless you really mean *any* address-- bind to a unicast address, and you 
won't
have that "problem."
        But it doesn't matter -- making Linux incompatible with IPv4 
sockets and all
other sockets implementations isn't a good idea.

                                                +-DLS
