Naturally, i would not have figured out the 2nd patch if i had not still had a
problem. Once i did this, everything ran fine. <shrug>

No, it didn't. I still had a problem, which this patch took care of. However, i
dio not remember if it was a problem in tcp4u, or the 2-byte allocation code.
For normal web browsing on port 80, 2 bytes worked fine, i ran into problem
when using ports over 32767 for localhost connections, like 50004. Maybe
it's a problem with the sign bit on a signed 2byte signed integer? I don't just
remember, sorry, but the 4-byte allocation made it work like a breeze.
I still have not gotten my irc code working again. The actual connect part is
fine, as far as i can tell, but the server-specific logging into nested
sequences is the problem,, i wish we could get nested values in huge
sequences in debug, displayed as needed. The code to store data is like 8
lines, the code to display fields as i debug is 50+ lines. Doing an abort to get
a ex.err still doesn't show me enough.
