Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone have used libsocket 1.10 ?

I've got a problem it looks like this:
--- snip ---
  sockinetbuf si(sockbuf::sock_stream);
  cout << "bind: " << si.bind("127.0.0.1",5150) << endl;
--- snip ---

The problem is that bind is returning: EADDRNOTAVAIL
Host is set correctly, but port is set to 0. If I use bind() it works!

I've discovered the bug(?) in the constructor of socketinetaddr the 
sockaddr_in is not "zeroed", so bind fails. I've "patched" (?) the source 
file so it uses ::bzero((void*)(sock_addr_in*)this, sizeof(sockaddr_in)); in 
the constructor.

Q1) Is this a bug?

Q2) If it is a bug?

Q2.1) How do I submit the source and to whom (is it neccesary)?

Q2.2) Since this is rather obvious? Aren't thery any using this lib, and what 
should (I) use instead (some suggestions of a object oriented socket 
framework? please :-)?

Many Regards and Thanks in Advance
