I have been working on some buffering changes to the network code and
came across something I am not sure what to do with.  While accepting
new connections on a listening socket, it seems that the hi water
mark is the only option that gets inherited by the new socket. (aside
from various things in the socket structure.)

Anyways, how specific is the API about what is inherited?

Thanks in advance,
Chris Csanady
