Actually, you might also want to check that the must-be-zero bytes in
addr really are zero; bzero(&addr, sizeof addr) before you use it. I was
bitten by this on FBSD recently; trying the code on "other Unix{-a-like}
systems" demonstrated a more lax attitude to unused parts of the address
structure.
In other words, make sure than bind() isn't failing.
