libgmalloc is also negative, all is OK. Very depressing. I did find
something, we may be mixing up address families, because the bind() is done
on localhost "0" (which translates to an ipv6-equivalent of localhost),
whereas we sendto() the ipv4-equivalent of localhost. I'm guessing that may
cause breakage, I'll test that theory sometime tonight or next weekend.

Still no idea why the connect() would make it work, though, since the
connect() also takes place after the bind() and should thus fail
similarly...
