This is not news. It's been like that for several years, even before we had a decent CI system for Qt. UDP breaks all the time because, unlike TCP, it doesn't get tested well-enough and because there are subtle and incompatible differences between the OSes. I remember trying to maintain support for it when I still cared for Solaris, HP-UX and IRIX. It was a nightmare! I think at one point I concluded that the SO_REUSEADDR attribute on Solaris worked the opposite of what it was supposed to do, possibly due to a bug in the Solaris kernel. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
