Subject: 2.4/2.6 local TCP connect oddity

Hi,

I've run into a problem where a process trying to connect to a local
port within the local port range eventually ends up connected to itself,
with source port = dest port.

similar behavior can be gotten by running netcat as follows:
nc -p 1025 localhost 1025

I'm not really sure if that's a bug, but the original case was at least
unexpected.

Regards,
	Tal Kelrich
