RE: [Libevent-users] ANN: Libevent 2.0.9-rc is released

["Kelly Brock" <Kerby@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great news but the iocp fix needs a minor fix:

Line 618 & 619 need to be modified as follows:
		setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_UPDATE_ACCEPT_CONTEXT,
		    (char *)&as->lev->fd, sizeof(&as->lev->fd));

This is due to the line just obove setting as->s to invalid.
