Re: [HACKERS] Stats Collector Error 7.4beta1 and 7.4beta2

       The file descriptor sockfd must refer to a socket.  If the
       socket is of type SOCK_DGRAM then the serv_addr address is
       the address to which datagrams are sent  by  default,  and
       the  only  address  from which datagrams are received.  If
Looks like the test is obsolete. Any objections to remove it? Do people

At least on HPUX, the connect(2) man page saith

     If the socket is of type SOCK_DGRAM, connect() specifies the peer
     address to which messages are to be sent, and the call returns
     immediately.  Furthermore, this socket can only receive messages sent
     from this address.
The "furthermore" is what we are after.
