Actually, no, because Mario followed the instructions used for
patching BSD sockets (without coying the source itself), so it
should be the same thing.

Additionally, I provided Mario with the sources to Targa, the
newest all-in-one nuker that combines Winnuke, Land, Teardrop
and a whole bunch of others.  His patched sockdev.xdd survived.
