--- Comment #31 from Bruce M Simpson <bms@FreeBSD.org> ---
That's going to be a tad harder for me to track down. I'll try to spare cycles
for this, we need to get it killed off because the issue is over a decade old
now, but there is other stuff to land, and other FreeBSD related projects I
must instigate.

Java is enough to obscure some of what's going on. truss doesn't really report
much that is useful in relation to setsockopt(), and ktrace will show the call,
but not the sockopt. And of course that gets further obfuscated by the fact
that the need to support this forces a sockopt to be mutated in-kernel
post-facto.

I'm "on the hook" so to speak for the Kyua test Gleb wanted, the mtest
extension will exercise the path manually, so please do try with that, as it's
unclear from this output exactly which syscall returned EINVAL. The mtest code
is about as simple as one can get. I seem to remember syncthing had issues in
this area

It is probably expecting too much for the conceptual originator of the change
to come forward and upstream that which could have been upstreamed over a
decade ago when I was busy with other more pressing matters.

It is also disappointing that the JDK backed out the very code preceding the
introduction of a "de facto" vs "de jure" feature that the IETF never ratified
which would have supported FreeBSD's discrete IPv4/IPv6 stacks in its prior
form.
