setsockopt(..,SO_RCVBUF,..) sets wrong value

When I do a setsockopt(..,SO_RCVBUF,..) and then read the value back
with getsockopt(), the reported value is exactly twice of what I set.

Running the same code on Solaris and on DEC UNIX reports back the
exact size I set.

Looking at the code it seems that the *2 should not be there:

>From /usr/src/linux/net/core/sock.c:

int sock_setsockopt(...

                case SO_SNDBUF:

                        sk->sndbuf = max(val*2,SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF);

                case SO_RCVBUF:
                        /* FIXME: is this lower bound the right one? */
                        sk->rcvbuf = max(val*2,SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF);
                        break;
