Hi Kuniyuki,

To be completely transparent: this was identified during a code audit following commit 3cb8d4b9bfeb, not from a production crash report.

I recognize that standard FOU configurations do not typically have multiple listeners on the same port (returning -EADDRINUSE), so this primarily affects multi-socket/SO_REUSEPORT encapsulation scenarios. If you consider this an edge case not worth touching, I am completely fine dropping the patch.

Thanks,
Mariano
