Re: bogus patch to bind() dlls/winsock/socket.c (request removal)

That looks familiar. In fact, the TRACE was originally a FIXME but it
caused so much spew with so many apps I changed it. I couldn't see exactly
what needed to be fixed given the contents of the message - it seems to be
simply informing us of progress, but it's a possibility somebody knew this
wasn't correct.

the patch was originally from me and the wsock maintainer also requested
to removed it the day it was submited to the cvs tree.

i will provide this patch further on the page i have setup with
instructions how to run gpl and NR2002/3. if this patch prevents some
facny apps from working i think its better to remove it. all the gpl/nr
racers that run the game on linux are die hard fans of the game, who
have their windoze only running for this games and are looking for a way
det rid of it complete.  they will not care for quicktime as they use
<put some linux sofware here>.

i dont have not time and also not the slightest motivation to look for a
proper solution on the M$ or Papyrus end.
