While that's arguable , Putty can give a demonstratable corner case
that has behavior different on Windows than on Wine, and it's entirely
likely that there's some other app depending on that behavior that we

0.0.0.0 and broadcast packets cause some problems with the newer Command and Conquer games, but the ticket was closed some time ago.  I believe it was decided that since the kernel devs wouldn't change how Linux handles these cases that it would be too much trouble to work around it.
