The patch leads to compilable source code for GNU/Linux and
OpenBSD. Without firing a TALK server, the client `talk' starts
seemingly correct in both systems. I think the patch should be
applied, bearing in mind that `struct osockaddr' is the old,
nowadays obsolete BSD socket.
Don't think we support any platforms anymore that use osockaddr.
