   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.
