[erlang-questions] clarify: SO_REUSEADDR under darwin?

[Matthew Reilly]

Is this on Leopard?

Leopard changed Darwin's behavior  (a bug?) w/ respect to UDP ports and 
bind(). In some cases it returns EADDRINUSE when binding a UDP ports 
under certain conditions.

This issue has caused many apps that use reSIProcate (an open source SIP 
library) to fail under Leopard.

See e.g. http://list.resiprocate.org/archive/resiprocate-devel/msg06360.html
(Note: that link says "disconnect a UDP port", but reSIProcate 
implemented that by binding the UDP port to 0.0.0.0:0, so it was a 
bind() issue)
