Comment(by james):

 Okay, solved this. BSDs have a length field in `struct sockaddr_in` and
 similar which "currently" should be set to 0. (I'm guessing that on other
 BSDs it is ignored?) So memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr)) on creation and all
 is well. The changes in your patch aren't needed, because gethostbyname()
 will not return ip6 addresses unless it's configured using RES_USE_INET6
 (Stevens UNPv1 seems clear about this; man pages aren't).
