Thanks a lot for the hint. Unfortunately I’m still not able to see why sendto
failed with 13 Permission denied. The AF_INET address masked is the correct one
of my server, not a broadcast address. A sendto before this one to the same
address just worked.
3058 myapp CALL
sendto(5,0x1689f5f6500,0x5d,0x400<MSG_NOSIGNAL>,0x7f7fffff1144,0x10)
3058 myapp STRU struct sockaddr { AF_INET, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy }
3058 myapp RET sendto -1 errno 13 Permission denied
3058 myapp CALL close(5)
3058 myapp RET close 0
The dump file is like 600MB. I can provide more trace log if it is necessary
for locating the root cause.
