According to all the documentation that I have, Linux also uses udp by
default, but even telling it explicitly to use udp and _not_ to use
tcp did not change a thing.

As soon as v 1.5 of rcp_soc.c becomes available on anoncvs I will get
it and try a new libc with that. But it seems there is another problem
still.
