The current implementation of sockaddr_storage in main/php_network.h when an OS version is not available breaks  word alignment of the structure. This showed up when compiling php w/ Sun Workshop Pro 4 & Forte 6 rather than gcc. A SIGBUG would occur when I was testing the ext/ftp extension.

RFC2553's reference implementation put the max padding size at 128, which is also the size that fixed the problem in my tests. Here is a patch based off of today's cvs. I've also put in a check for sockaddr.sa_len into configure.in so the implementation of sockaddr_storage can vary. Though I'm not completely sure the padding is always correct when sa_len is found, as I dont have access to a system in that situation, but this is a step in the right direction if not the fix.
