Thank you for the info.
I did a quick search for the 1003.1g.
It seems to be often quoted in the IPv6 socket extension work.
I have not been able to read the relevant paragraph from
the proposed draft yet.
Once I get hold of the releavent paragraph, I would try to
figure out how the subtle difference of Linux, SunOS 5.7 for x86
can be accommodated by the (proposed) standard.
Happy Hacking
