Thanks to Charles Ballowe for providing us with the solution so quick out
of the gate. I have never had a solution within just a couple minutes of
sending out the email... thanks!

The solution is that we have to zero out the "sockaddr_in" structure
before actually using it. So, the following snippet of code is what
Charles suggested:

  #include <string.h>
  ...

  int main()
  {
    struct sockaddr_in addr;
    bzero((void *)&addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
    ....
  }

Works like a charm!
Thanks.

Scott
