[erlang-questions] inet setoptions after receive data

[Erik Søe Sørensen]

Switching between packet formats *is* possible (we do it sometimes) *but*
you should be aware of interactions with the 'active' socket option.
That is,
- don't use active=true when doing this. Race conditions!
- active=once can be used, but should be off at the point where you change
packetization.
- Finally, for good measure, don't change 'packet' and 'active' in the same
setopts call.
