Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Looking at sockaddr, sa_len looks like to be the culprit since it isn't
initialized and thus a likely candidate to contain bogus values. The other
members of the structure should all get initialized explicitly.
Could you try initializing this field with the proper length?
Other applications explicitly test the presence of sa_len, but I doubt
that GHC runs no OSes that do not have this member anyway.
