Charles-François Natali added the comment: Hum, IIUC, basically what happens is that the user could - and still can - pass arbitrary bytes as address (which is legtit), but depending on the encoding, getsockaddr() and friends might blow up when decoding it. If that's correct, that's bad, and that would be a good reason to keep bytes.
