what strange platform are you using?
the SO_REUSEADDR option is defined as a "boolean" by all
socket implementations I've ever seen, where zero means
off, and any non-zero value means on.
the Standard Unix specification is even more explicit:
"For boolean options, 0 indicates that the option is
disabled and 1 indicates that the option is enabled."
