Hi Andrew,

I can confirm the patch works fine. Though Windows bind() can return 10 possible error codes, on closer inspection anything other than EACCES or EADDRINUSE indicate something is probably wrong with either the socket descriptor itself or the network interface being connected to and so a bind retry is unlikely to lead anywhere. Thus the more conservative approach should still cover all eventualities.

Thanks,

Freddie

Ralph suggested that we adopt a slightly more conservative approach to fixing the issue, could you confirm this patch please.

Thanks,
