>Description:
In the linux socket recvfrom emulation the incoming socket address family is
not converted to BSD values, although the reverse conversion is done. The values
for local and inet are identical so this still works, but inet6 values differ.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Apply patch. This also defaults unknown families to inet as apparently linux
ignores bad values in this syscall. This was necessary to get a linux
binary to work.
Alternatively maybe just force the address family to AF_UNSPEC.
