Ok, this is happening because the kernel is trying to bind to UDP port
7001, and the bind is failing.  I don't know why.  The 'E2BIG' was a
red-herring.  The actual error being returned (-7) is RX_ADDRINUSE,
which is returned from rx_Init() when rxi_GetUDPSocket() fails and
returns NULL.  GetUDPSocket() fails because rkx_NewSocket() fails.
The latter fails in bind().

Could you try applying this patch to rx/LINUX/rx_knet.c to add a
little debugging output to rxk_NewSocket(), recompile, and then let me
know what you get in your kernel logs?  This will at least help me
understand what error message we're getting from the bind() operation.

Thanks,
