I don't think the bind() should be needed per se, though, I mean, recv()
should be good enough since it is udp anyway. Is there a way to assign that
port by setting a reasonable default or derive the local private port
without doing the bind()?

(The ipv6/4 code should be made more alike or merged like in my patch,
though, so as for that part, this patch is doing the right thing.)
