---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Just in case this isn't taken care of by the ongoing rewrite of 'network',
 but there's an age-old limitation in the implementation of
 Network.Socket.connect -- it balks at being given a socket where the local
 endpoint (port,iface) has already been bound.

 i.e., it socket status test ought to be

     not (currentStatus elem [NotConnected?,Bound])

 The workaround of manually resetting SocketStatus? always leaves me
 feeling icky.
