sa_len of 0 should be valid, for Chapter 18 of UNIX® Network Programming
Volume 1, Third Edition: The Sockets Networking API, states:
The socket address structures are variable-length, but this code assumes
that each has an sa_len field specifying its length. There are two
complications that must be handled. First, the two masks, the network
mask and the cloning mask, can be returned in a socket address structure
with an sa_len of 0, but this really occupies the size of an unsigned
long. (Chapter 19 of TCPv2 discusses the cloning feature of the 4.4BSD
routing table). This value represents a mask of all zero bits, which we
printed as 0.0.0.0 for the network mask of the default route in our
earlier example.
There are other references in the book which also state sa_len of 0 is
valid.
