No tests present in 5.3 broke. I could redo my test code and stick it in the socket tests, if you could point me to how to get it integrated. I caught it while working on Rbt to make it handler multiple network interfaces more sanely.

This prior behavior was normal up until Sept. 2003, when there was discussion on the squeak-l about it and Ian updated the Unix code to do the right thing. Since then there have been some complaints, but apparently no one who had the expertise or time to fix it was available. Is there anyone at present who has the nominal responsibility for the socket plugin and the various platform modules? I spent a lot of time reading the code and have some questions about the whys of the design.
