originally a parameter was defined as an int, but the method expected
socklen_t. On RH7, this is a uint. I suspect previously it was an int, or
this never would have compiled.
So I changed the variable type to socklen_t and committed. Then someone (I
think Fred) discovered that socklen_t is not defined in some windows
systems... so I put in this define if it wasn't already defined. I have no
way to tell what the best definition in this case is... any other ideas?
