Hi Gordon,

I've found this a problem on the different platforms I've been compiling on
(linux (redhat9), cygwin, tivo and rio etc)

Some need inaddr_broadcast, others need inaddr_any.

Don't know the kernel/gcc versions off the top of my head, but will check
later.

Will also retry inaddr_any, in case I'm going mad...

Regards
Tony
