This comment shows a severe misunderstanding of the concept behind UDP.
Verify from where?
what failures do you know about under Linux that the standard BSD

(I mean REALLY, if you know of such a thing, let meknow because
if it does happen, I'll look at fixing it, but
I'm extremely puzzled by what you seem to think you are describing..
