Duh, I managed to misread both the comment and the code :-)

What my subconscious refused to admit is the fact that on Windows, SO_REUSEADDR allows you to bind to any port - even though the other application didn't set SO_REUSEADDR on its socket - which is a security nightmare.

Anyway, in that case, my last patch should be correct (tested on one of the Win7 buildbots).
