--- Comment #8 from Benjamin Kaduk <bjk at FreeBSD.org> ---
I do not see why it is believed to be correct behavior to blindly cast
addrinfo->ai_addr to type 'struct sockaddr_in *' without first checking that
addrinfo->ai_family is PF_INET (or that the sockaddr's sa_family is AFS_INET);
such a cast is expected to yield "nonsense" results when ai_family is PF_INET6.
