Huh?  I was just considering writing the patch for this.  What
application problems would this create?

The worst thing I can see is that it would mean that changing the
timeout value on a running system wouldn't affect already opened
sockets.  Even that may be changable by an external utility if I can
think of a way to handle the locking in userland.

Cheers,
