Perhaps it is getting confused between ipv6 and 4? (after compiling with 
-g3

(gdb) print *addr
$6 = {sin6_family = -1912, sin6_port = 34, sin6_flowinfo = 1851828526, 
sin6_addr = {_S6_un = {_S6_u8 = "╕{>\000╨Y\236\000p¿`n\002\000\000",

Just as a note, this still occurs (I think only with GCC 3.4.5 mingw)

I can't reproduce it on Windows Vista at all.
What's your platform, and the version of winsock2?

It's 6.0.6001.18000 on Vista.

I'll try it on XP, if possible, later.

Easily reproducible on Windows 7 with latest 1.9.2 dev builds (with
