IPv6 with Apache on tru64 has been broken for a while now, and I finally got round to figuring out what it was. It appears that Tru64's

This meant that apr_sockaddr_vars_set() was blindly setting salen
to 28, and then later when Apache called bind( , , 28) Tru64 bombed
out in unpleasant error land. Patch attached.
I'm not sure I would use the word "blindly", as we're using sizeof(sockaddr_in6). If getaddrinfo() returns IPv6 addresses larger than that, we're hosed at that point and shouldn't be copying into the apr_sockaddr_info_t anyway.
Isn't the first step to see why getaddrinfo() is returning IPv6 addresses larger than sizeof(sockaddr_in6) and take it from there? (Alternatively, why am I confused?)
