running the program listed below with argument 'reuse' under cygwin and
linux returns different results!

from my point of view, the linux result is quite what i expected, a bind()
error 'Address already in use'. why doen't bind() return an error under
cygwin?

running under cygwin:

~$ ./tcptest.cygwin.exe reuse &
using socket=4200064
setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR)

~$ ./tcptest.cygwin.exe reuse
using socket=4200064
setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR)

running under linux:

~$ ./tcptest.linux reuse &
using socket=134513784
setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR)

~$ ./tcptest.linux reuse
using socket=134513784
setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR)
bind() failed: Address already in use
