Subject:	prototype of bind in sys/socket.h

Hi,

The prototype of bind in /usr/include/sys/socket.h is:
int bind (int, struct sockaddr *__my_addr, int __addrlen);

Without knowing what the standard exactly suggests, I think this should
have been:
int bind (int, const struct sockaddr *__my_addr, int __addrlen);

bind is not allowed to modify the socket address! The operating systems,
that I have checked, use const in the prototype of bind.

Cheers,
René
