            Bug ID: 216259
           Summary: Setting SO_OOBINLINE after receiving OOB data over TCP
                    can cause that data to be received again

test program demonstrating the bug

I'm not sure if this is a bug—I haven't fully read specs and perhaps it's
within spec for OOBINLINE or TCP or something—but it certainly looks like one.

The attached test program demonstrates the bug, and probably more clearly than
any verbal description. It sends and receives a byte of OOB data over a
(loopback) socket pair, sets the receiving socket to SO_OOBINLINE, and then
calls recv() again (without MSG_OOB). This results in the same byte being
received again.

If on the other hand a recv() call is made before setting SO_OOBINLINE [guarded
out with if(0)], the offending call does not succeed, which heightens my
suspicion that this is a bug.
