I see now what you are saying:

# sockstat -l4

root     bsnmpd     2857  5  udp4   *:*                   *:*
root     bsnmpd     2857  6  udp4   127.0.0.1:161         *:*
root     bsnmpd     2857  7  udp4   208.70.106.1:161      *:*

I don't think I've ever seen a "*.*" in the local addr field before.
