	nttcp try to do setsockopt SO_LINGER with:

struct linger Ling = {
	1,              /* option on */
	1000000         /* linger time, for our control connection */
};

	after uipc_socket.c rev.1.131, we rejects values larger
	than USHRT_MAX.
----------------------------
revision 1.131
date: 2006/12/08 00:23:08;  author: christos;  state: Exp;  lines: +6 -5
- make so_linger unsigned short to double the range
- return 1 or 0 for the flag being set instead of the flag value
- check for range properly
----------------------------

	another report of the failure:
	http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-help/2007/03/09/0002.html

	(note that nttcp's error handling is somehow broken and
	can corrupt errno before reporting it.)
>How-To-Repeat:
	run nttcp.
>Fix:
	while nttcp is broken and should be fixed, i guess it could be better
	for us to truncate this big value silently, given that it's likely
	intended to be "forever".
