Actually this wasn't quite correct - it's a problem with the FreeBSD
port build only insofar as it uses --enable-sctp (which my other build
didn't) - thereby exposing a bug in inet_drv. I.e. connected UDP (and
handling of any other errors in UDP recv()) is broken in passive mode
for all SCTP-enabled builds. Patch below against R13B04 - R14A has the
same bug.
