-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 We started setting SO_REUSEADDR on outbound sockets in #2850 (and it's
 unclear if it helped but maybe it did), but we screwed up the order of
 operations such that we bind() before setting the socket option if you
 have the OutboundBindAddress config option set.
