why is the value which is given throu "setsockopt"
multiplikated with 2

example:
int i=4000;
setsockopt(fd,SOL_SOCKET,SO_RCVBUF,&i,sizeof(i));

now i want get the value
getsockopt(fd,SOL_SOCKET,SO_RCVBUF......

and i is 8000
why is the value *2 ??

in socket.c
line 235 sk->rcvbuf=max(val*2,256);

i use kernel 2.2.13
