Yep, I had this problem. Eventually I gave up on socket.h. Wrote my own 
header based on some site specific stuff. Basically SOCK_STREAM = 1 for 
Sunos4 and 2 for Sunos5. Whichever genius decided to change this wants 
binding to a very lonely address. SOCK_STREAM and other such constants 
;-0 are hard coded into lots of things like chat2.pl anf ftp.pl.
