Hi!

When an active IPv4 TCP connection between
localIP:localport and remoteIP1:remoteport1 exists,
it is not possible for local non-root user to create outgoing
TCP connection from localIP:localport to remoteIP2:remoteport2.

Why? It prevents http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/65928
from resolving.
