bind uses a sizeof to get the size of the structure.
I've seen implementations which use strlen(name) and sizeof(struct).
I assume the reason people used strlen because size(struct) would
force the whole structure to be copied into kernel space..?
Where is the socket/bind calls in the bsd net-2 release? I can't
find it (I found the kernel code though...)
