That was written a long time ago, and a lot of changes have been made to
the socket code since then.  I'm pretty sure that there are people using
it in actual programs, otherwise no one would have bothered to make those
changes.

The 0.6.4 version should be pretty stable.  I don't know of any major
changes that have been made recently, so give it a try and see if it's
good enough for you.  If not, you can always go back to 0.5.3
