You're obviously right. SO_REUSEADDR can have no effect if it comes
after the bind() call.

The patch you attached was syntactically malformed. I committed this
one in your name; I hope it is what you meant.

The "tiny change" marker means "small enough to not require the exchange
of legal paperwork". Feel free to report more bugs like this, that you find!


2012-10-01  Ed Maste  <address@hidden>  (tiny change)

        select, poll tests: Make setsockopt invocation effective.
        * tests/test-poll.c (open_server_socket): Move setsockopt() call before
        the bind() call.
        * tests/test-select.h (open_server_socket): Likewise.
