+Just for reference, I thought I'd added this before but I must have
+forgotten to:

+<Dick> looks like some optimisation has shuffled errno assigning around
+<Dick> there doesnt seem to be any way of setting SO_BROADCAST from
+the class libraries, so i guess we need to see if we get EACCESS and
+try setting it there
+<gonzalo> btw, it works under mono/windows
+<Dick> yeah, its the library or the kernel denying you access for
+broadcast addresses
