Actually b) sounds more like a bugfix than a workaround (and a doesn't
sound like a good idea at all). Returning that error only makes sense
for server sockets but we can't know if this is a server socket or not
at the bind stage. What should probably be done is that the EADDRINUSE
isn't returned for bind() but for listen().
