Comment 2 Jindrich Novy 2004-07-29 13:54:07 UTC 
It looks like talk developers possibly assumed that OS_BSDCOMPAT is
only defined on *BSD environments what leads to inappropriate use of
setsockopt under GNU/Linux. Even they tried to fix the problem in
source it doesn't work. The patch in comment #1 fixes the problem.
It'll be fixed also in FC.

Jindrich
