I'm having a bad day understanding the new TCP local port number allocation scheme.
The reason this day is bad, as opposed to merely interesting, is (a) because the code doesn't seem to scale better -- indeed, it doen't scale at all, i.e. after I open a lot of ports (not even at the same time, I merely start a WWW mirror, for instance) after a certain point I get a zero back from tcp_good_socket => anything that doesn't use a privileged socket stops working. (b), I freely admit I don't really understand what the code is supposed to be doing.
Time to either debug or back uot these particular bits.
