I think I speak for everyone when I say _WHAT_ setsockopt() bug that
keeps making his program crash? :-)

Seriosly, this was a non-bug report.  We need a snippet of code actually
demonstrating the problem or, at the very least, which of the 18
different socket option settings he was trying.  His question was
utterly meaningless.

This is like saying "Has the bug with FreeBSD which causes my program to
crash been fixed yet?"  Yeah, sure kid, it's been fixed.  Now go away
and don't come back until you learn how to write a real bug report. :-)
