(usagi-users 03287) question about scope_id support for LL addresses

If you bind a socket to a host's link-local address, also setting the 
scope_id
for that interface, it does not seem to be possible to connect to that 
socket
from the same host.

It does work if the scope_id for the listener is set to the loopback 
interface
and the client connects using that scope_id also. It also works when
you bind the listener to ::0.

I found this behaviour in the standard 2.4.9 kernel. Can anyone tell me
if this is a bug, and has it been fixed? It seems like a bug to me, because
it ought to be possible to listen on a specific interface, but also receive
packets from applications on the same host.

Thanks
Michael.
