Sorry, I didn't mean to apply there were bugs with the patch. I think the
patch is fine - it works great in 1.9...I assume it is something about the
way I applied the patch and compiled the binaries on my machine.

|I'll commit it later into 1.8, with ifs sockets patch.

That would be great! Very much appreciated!!!
