   I'm sorry, I really have no idea.  That's been the name of the   
   structure member since at least BSD 4.1c, ca 1982.   
      
   My guess is that your system actually names the structure member   
   something else, and then #define's `sa_family` to whatever that   
   non-standard name is.  My workaround is to `#define ss_family sa_family`,   
   but that preprocessor substitution probably happens after all of   
   the renaming the system libraries do.   
      
   One can play games with casts.  For example, if you change line   
   224 of client.c to read something like:   
      
       ((struct sockaddr *)(&invalidAddreses[0]))->sa_family = AF_INET;   
      
   It may compile.  I haven't tested that, though.
