Most of the other socket libraries (not sure about SBCL) create
bivalent streams by default.

Oh, I forgot to post a bug I found in the sb-socket code:

   (setf (sb-bsd-sockets:sockopt-tcp-nodelay sock) t)

fails with a permission denied error.  The set-sockopt-bool function
always passes a level of SOL_SOCKET, but this needs to be set to the
TCP protocol number of TCP (properly returned from getprotoent).

When I get I chance, I might be able to look into a fix for this.
