I guess it does. I just wanted to mention it since the sentence
"Note that it is necessary to bind to an address before calling the
setsockopt() function."
in the article that you kindly pointed out might mislead someone into
believing that setsockopt() must _always_ be called after bind().
(Well, it misled me...;-)
