Package: socat
Version: 1.7.1.0-1
Hi,
there is a new upstream Version available. You should consider packaging
it. It also claims to fix some bugs, that appear in debian.
If you have some time problem and you don't mind, I can help and do the
packaging and upload for you.

Excerpt of the changelog:
####################### V 1.7.1.2:
corrections:
user-late and group-late, when applied to a pty, affected the system
device /dev/ptmx instead of the pty (thanks to Matthew Cloke for
pointing me to this bug)
socats openssl addresses failed with "nonblocking operation did not
complete" when the peer performed a renegotiation. Thanks to Benjamin
Delpy for reporting this bug.
info message during socks connect showed bad port number on little
endian systems due to wrong byte order (thanks to Peter M. Galbavy for
bug report and patch)
Debian bug 531078: socat execs children with SIGCHLD ignored; corrected
to default. Thanks to Martin Dorey for reporting this bug.
porting:
building socat on systems that predefined the CFLAGS environment to
contain -Wall failed (esp.RedHat). Thanks to Paul Wouters for reporting
this problem and to Simon Matter for providing the patch
support for Solaris 8 and Sun Studio support (thanks to Sebastian
Kayser for providing the patches)
on some 64bit systems a compiler warning "cast from pointer to integer
of different size" was issued on some option definitions
added struct sockaddr_ll to union sockaddr_union to avoid "strict
aliasing" warnings (problem reported by Paul Wouters)
docu:
minor corrections in docu
####################### V 1.7.1.1:
corrections:
corrected the "fixed possible SIGSEGV" fix because SIGSEGV still might
occur under those conditions. Thanks to Toni Mattila for first
reporting this problem.
ftruncate64 cut its argument to 32 bits on systems with 32 bit long type
socat crashed on systems without setenv() (esp. SunOS up to Solaris 9);
thanks to Todd Stansell for reporting this bug
with unidirectional EXEC and SYSTEM a close() operation was performed
on a random number which could result in hanging e.a.
fixed a compile problem caused by size_t/socklen_t mismatch on 64bit
systems
docu mentioned option so-bindtodev but correct name is so-bindtodevice.
Thanks to Jim Zimmerman for reporting.
docu changes:
added environment variables example to doc/socat-multicast.html
