Dean's fix for Solaris HUP problem

[Marc Slemko <ma...@worldgate.com>]

Why couldn't we always do the bind() before the dup() (erm... F_DUPFD I
mean)? 

Oh yes, someone should check things like UnixWare and Intel SVR4 to see if
they have the same problem, as suggested by the person at Sun; because of
their similar socket implementation, they may have the same problem.

I am simply wondering if it isn't easier for everything to just make that
change for all OSes and end the hassles, especially if some other Unixes
may have the same problem.

I sure as hell hope we don't run into any OSes which loose flags when
doing a dup() on a bound socket...

I was trying to go for the minimal impact fix... only impacting solaris. 
Note that I didn't commit those doc changes into 1_2_X yet so it's not up
on the site.  If we're happy with this fix as a stopgap measure then the
docs should be merged.
