ok, and now the nice one:

even the demo code from the official ibm documentation under

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/doc_li...taccept_ex.htm

has the problem.

i've tried it on a aix 4.1.5 machine -> no problem, same code works fine.

on the other hand: i've compiled on the same 4.3.3 and gcc 2.9 apache
and openssh, which are working fine both...

what's going on here?
