Wow, that was quick.  I'm actually not 100% sure this is correct either:
sun_len (not in POSIX) is char while socklen_t is required by POSIX to
be 32 bits.  But it's no less wrong than the original, since on systems
where sockaddrs have a length field, it is used to pass around the same
values that POSIX uses socklen_t for.

In any case, the cast is not really necessary.  There are many needless
casts in unbound, which I assume are the result of running a simplistic
lint on the code and trying to fix everything it flags instead of tuning
it to reduce false positives.
