I'm sorry. To change this, you'd need significant changes to the way sockets
are opened and handled.
I tried going through this in my head, but there's no easy way to do this.
You'd need to either:
close/reopen the socket before a connect to a server and bind to a random port,
and close then reopen the socket with standard port given in net_port after
disconnect. Or you would have to open a second ipv4 socket for the client part,
and add this one to the select syscall and also make sure it reads from that
socket.
Users can work around this by manually setting net_port to a different value.
Yes I realize it's not very user friendly. Maybe you can send a patch and if
it's reasonably clean I'll accept it.
