 and your test works fine with current svn head (may be 1.1.9 too).
 Thanks.

+Well, yes of course it works if you change the code as you describe,
+because then it's not sending UDP broadcast packets, it's sending
+normal unicast direct to the port.  That's why I left the
+commented-out line in there, to demonstrate the difference in
+behaviour between unicast and broadcast.
+
+The bug as I described it is still present in 1.1.9.2.
