Yes, some changes were made recently to make sockaddr validation
stricter. Several other operating systems also have this requirement.
Linux seems to be a bit more relaxed in that AF_UNSPEC (0) is permitted
if and only if the bind address is INADDR_ANY, which is the case here.
Since 2001 the benchmarks/ttcp port has carried a patch to specify
sin_family. Is there some reason it cannot be used here? I don't
object to re-allowing ttcp's unpatched behaviour if necessary.
