Btw, I just gave up and added your wins.uva.nl address to the posters list.

I call that more than close enough that we should stick it there.
FreeBSD's <sys/socket.h> defines SOMAXCONN to 128.  If there comes a time
when the Hurd socket bits/layouts diverge from BSD, then I can't see a
reason not to punt the BSD bits entirely, move the linux file into sysdeps/gnu,
and use that.
