Make sure that saddr is not used uninitialized if the
mcast parameter is NULL.

Do we really need the initialization here? With the two if()
conditions aligned we should be properly initializing it
in all the cases we use it, or have I missed one?

We don't need it. I added it not to have the same problem again if
the code changes in the future. I think it shouldn't hurt
because this code is only run once during initialization.
If you think it's not necessary I'm fine with removing it though.

Jens
