     On Esix rev D, has anyone gotten the BSD socket library
(/usr/lib/libnet.a) to work?  I've tried two programs (perl3pl41 and
gnuserv), and both programs get a bus error in listen().  Both of these
programs work fine on many other machines.

     As I don't have a lan card, I'm using the pseudo-lan driver
(/dev/pln).  I don't think this is caused by some mis-configuration on
my part; telnet/telnetd work fine, as do X-windows (does X-windows use
the pln driver?).

     I'm starting to wonder if this is a bug in sockets.

     Any help will be appreciated.
