[svn-r4090] Purpose: Implemented port hunting Really catch SIGPIPE signals Description: Port hunting allows to try and bind to a successive port number if the port number given in the filename is already used. Because of a stupid typo in the code, SIGPIPE wasn't catched which might have caused the sending side to hang. Solution: The Stream VFD's file access property list was extended by two elements: - maxhunt: how many successive ports to try if the one given in the filename is already in use Default is not to hunt for additional ports. - port: port number which is finally used to bind a socket This might be different to the port number as given in the filename if port hunting is enabled. The H5Pget_fapl_stream() can be used to obtain this port number. Platforms tested: x86 Linux, Irix 32/64 bit, Dec Alpha, Unicos on T3E, AIX on SP2 Hitachi SR8000
