Summary: socket.getsockopt bug

Initial Comment:
i tested this on windows xp. the installed python
version is the 2.4.3 from the windows MSI.

when doing socket.getsockopt with buffer_size > 0, for
options like SO_LINGER or SO_SNDTIMEO, i get only 4 bytes. 
although the man pages state these options hold 8
bytes. is this a bug in the pythonic version of
getsockopt or winsock?
