It's one of those non-portable Linux socket options. === $ man 7 udp ... UDP_CORK (since Linux 2.5.44) If this option is enabled, then all data output on this socket is accumulated into a single datagram that is transmitted when the option is disabled. This option should not be used in code intended to be portable. === Though the crash is more of due to IPV6_MTU value set.
