Well we're only looking for a single character match - index() is for
single characters, strstr() is for strings.
Sorry, strchr() (which is in the C standard itself, whereas index() is
marked legacy in POSIX ... apparently)

No particular reason - either will work just fine.
I've never noticed it done with connect() anywhere else, I guess
because you'd have the same obvious race ...
I dunno, bind() will fail quickly when we probe a port, whereas
connect() will succeed more slowly and cause another context switch etc.
Not a big deal, but ...
