well,,, not 'any' other linux system...

$ ./getsockname
socket = -1
length = 16
getsockname rc = -1
returned length = 16
getsockname: Bad file descriptor

[rthompso AT wasteland /home/rthompso
$ uname -a
Linux wasteland 2.4.18-18.7.x #1 Wed Nov 13 20:29:30 EST 2002 i686 unknown

similar failed response on WinXP
$ ./getsockname
socket = 3
length = 16
getsockname rc = -1
returned length = 16
getsockname: Invalid argument
WS-XP-4960[08:38:46]: /home/rthompso>
