Reading SUS v2 and v3, both say:
If the initiating socket is not connection-mode, then connect()
sets the socket's peer address, but no connection is made. For
SOCK_DGRAM sockets, the peer address identifies where all datagrams
are sent on subsequent send() calls, and limits the remote sender
for subsequent recv() calls.
So it looks good to me.
I do wonder why nobody had a problem with this before however.
