I did, millions of times, I don't understand it either, but they are really
the same and they are correct. The sendto() fails and the connect() and
send() are fine. I can not possibly imagine anything that could cause this
either. I could imagine random data corruption somewhere else because of a
memory overflow in ffserver, I haven't checked for that yet. I'll play with
libgmalloc (valgrind for MacOSX or so, apparently) and see if I get
something.
