Yes, this conversion is needed. We wrote something about it in the NEWS file. Simon wanted to make these conversion functions public in our <sys/socket.h> replacement, IIRC. > A small patch to the setsockopt module allows me to set socket timeouts > (SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO) portably.

I would guess it needs to do the opposite conversion, no? Bruno
