[Bug 331535] Re: sync request - iperf fails to die when bind fails

[Brian Murray]

** Summary changed:

- iperf fails to die when bind fails
+ sync request - iperf fails to die when bind fails

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: iperf
  
  When iperf is ran as an normal user, and you tell it to listen on a
  privileged port (anything below 1024), it should die when the bind
  fails. Instead, it acts as if its still listening on the port you
  specified.
