Perhaps someone else can comment on what might be a bug, but one thing 
to do is to run your program directly as the uid and gid you want 
(rather than than root). Since presumably the goal is to bind to a port 
<1024, you can do that instead using authbind 
(http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/authbind.1.html).
