That's documented standard behaviour.  I pointed this out in my first
reply.  If you're still learning socket programming I'd like to
suggest this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Unix-Network-Programming-Vol-Networking/dp/0131411551/ref=sr_1_1/102-9342001-5959348?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193321471&sr=8-1

It's the socket bible, sort of.
