>Description:
I've got a trivial little ip4-only program which I want to listen on
127.0.0.1.5999 only, as opposed to *.5999 (tcp socket)

It fails at the call to bind: complaining that EADDRNOTAVAIL. The same
program (modulo sin_len - missing on that system) works on Solaris,
which leads me to believe the problem isn't with my source, but with bind.

Running the program using INADDR_ANY works correctly.

I've marked this as high-priority since there are some programs (named)
that need this functionality.

>How-To-Repeat:
Trivial little program repeats the bug: compile with gcc -o test test.cc.
Email me for source.
