Just FYI, I found that the Winsock function WSARecvFrom has a weird
property.  If the parameter in which the socket name is returned is a
NULL pointer, the namelen pointer must be a NULL pointer as well,
otherwise WSARecvFrom returns a WSAEFAULT error, even if the namelen
pointer points to a valid, writable memory area.  The name and namelen
parameter are ignored entirely with TCP sockets, so WSAEFAULT is only
returned for UDP sockets.  This might explain that we didn't have a bug
report for this so far.

Thanks for the testcase, even though an entire application is quite
bulky as a testcase.
