It looks like the bug is cygwin (or maybe a limitation of Win32) doesn't update the socklen parameter supplied to recvfrom(), so if you supply a large buffer (as perl does, since it needs to allow for non-IPv4 protocols like UNIX sockets), the whole buffer is returned, not just the struct sockaddr_in part. As to whether this is a Win32 limitation - the Win32 documentation for both recvfrom() [1] and WSARecvFrom() [2] both indicate that the from/fromlen parameters are ignored for connection oriented sockets.
