that case the cast from sockaddr to sockaddr_in is a problem. The sockaddr
structure consists of a short (2 bytes) and an array of 14 chars, so it is
allowed to be aligned (and is, in fact, aligned) on the 2-byte boundary,
Yes, probaly sockad should be changed to contain an array of longs instead
of chars, since it is supposed to be castable.... I really hate C :)
A somewhat cleaner solution (as pointed out by Steve again) would be to
use struct sockaddr_storage instead of sockaddr, that will have the
correct alignment and is guaranteed to have enough storage for both
ipv4 and ipv6 sockets.
