Bind to 0.0.0.0/0 fails on 32 bit Ubuntu 9.10

[James Bellinger]

Binary package hint: authbind

I put the following in /etc/authbind/byuid/103:

# bind
127.0.0.1/32:953,953 (this part works)
0.0.0.0/0:53,53 (this part does not)

Now, what is INTERESTING is, if I replace 0.0.0.0/0 with *two* entries: 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1, it works.
Otherwise, the Bind server gets an error bind: No such file or directory, meaning authbind is denying it access.
From this I conclude something is wrong with the 32-bit build at the very least, because it works fine in 64-bit 9.10.
It seems to be failing on /0 entries.
