New Comment:
This looks more like a socket_strerror() problem that was addressed
recently, as the legacy winsock(1.1) doesn't report a correct errno
when bind() fails according to http://www.sockets.com/err_lst1.htm,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL (10049) Cannot assign requested address.
Berkeley description: Normally results from an attempt to create a
socket with an address not on this machine.
WinSock description: Partly the same as Berkeley. The "address" it
refers to is the remote socket name (protocol, port and address). This
error occurs when the sin_port value is zero in a sockaddr_in structure
for connect() or sendto().
In Berkeley, this error also occurs when you are trying to name the
local socket (assign local address and port number) with bind(), but
Windows Sockets doesn't ascribe this error to bind(), for some unknown
reason.
Developer suggestions: Assume bind() will fail with this error. Let the
network system assign the default local IP address by referencing
INADDR_ANY in the sin_addr field of a sockaddr_in structure input to
bind(). Alternately, you can get the local IP address by calling
gethostname() followed by gethostbyname().
WinSock functions: connect(), sendto(), FD_CONNECT
Additional functions: It seems odd that the v1.1 specification doesn't
ascribe this error to the function bind().

win98 will crash if you bind_socket your IP to other than yourself - IP
cant be 127.0.0.1 either

Wait, did you test with CVS now?!
It's supposed to ONLY return boolean false or true (from reading the
source code).
Can you verify this too please.

Oops !!
I made an error, socket_bind returns 1 on success.
True = -1

The CSV version doesn't include this bug anymore.
Just one more thing : socket_bind() returns '' on success ...
