Everything I've ever seen clearly states that a backlog of zero means that zero connections are allowed. So we're not "disallowing" a backlog argument of zero to listen(). We'll accept that just fine, the only thing that happens is that you'll get what you ask for, that being no connections :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
