Server::Listen returns Undefined regardless of result from bind

[tautologistics]

There's no way to know whether the bind to the address/port was successful. See:

Changes are to:

deps/evcom/evcom.c
src/node_net.cc

Listen() now returns a boolean indicating the success/failure of the underlying bind (unless someone thinks it would be better to return the raw int result).

Ryan - what way do you find is easiest for you to receive changes? Github push requests, posts here, updates to the issue tracker, or something else?

is this still an issue?

i prefer patches on the mailing list

With 0.1.27, no; it still returns undefined with no exception on failure. With the net2 patch you pointed me to, yes, bind failures are detectable.
