Hmm.  POSIX requires that apps use sockaddr_storage to guarantee
alignment before downcasting to struct sockaddr_in or further down to
struct sockaddr.  But since we are providing a replacement bind(), and
POSIX doesn't give us any way to specify that 'struct sockaddr' in our
signature should have been aligned as struct sockaddr_storage by any
sane caller, we're stuck playing realignment games, or else using a pragma.

Since this is just test code, performance doesn't matter, and using
memcpy() for the realignment game makes sense.

ACK.
