Summary: Solaris and recvfrom(), what type is the sixth parameter?

Initial Comment:
Building BZFlag on Solaris with GCC 3.2.1 failed, because the 
sixth parameter to recvfrom() should be a socklen_t*, but an int* 
was passed. I fixed this by changing lines 71-73 in 
include/network.h from  
 
#if defined(__FreeBSD__) 
#define AddrLen		socklen_t 
#endif 
 
to 
 
#if defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(sun) 
#define AddrLen		socklen_t 
#endif 
 
Now it works for me. However, I'm not really sure if this is correct 
- 'man recvfrom' says that the sixth parameter actually should be 
an int*. If anyone with more Solaris experience than me could take 
a look at this, that would be great. I only built it to see if it would 
work - the Solaris computer that I used is way to slow to actually 
run BZFlag.
