OK, but since its the only patch I've SEEN, it takes top marks by default.

Other than the binding problem, what else is wrong with it?

What other patches can I look at, before I take what I have and start
improving it?

OK, they mention this in the implementation notes, though they say that you
CAN bind specific addresses, just not via "bindaddress" in inn.conf just yet.
(But -I/-b for inndstart/nnrpd will work, they claim.)
