I've never run across such a system, that said, I don't typically
use UDP for anything so I may just not have noticed.
I think the bigger concern was that recv() wasn't required, it
actually uses read() on some systems instead (hence the sread()
macro ... that said, just checked, it appears to only be minix
that uses read). Making RECVFROM _required_ I would assume would
break those systems (as if recv() isn't available, I doubt
recvfrom() is ;))
