A friendly soul on FreeBSD-hackers told me that my
tv_usec value is wrong in the timeval struct above. FreeBSD checks if it 
is in the range of
0<tv_usec<1000000 and not negative.

How I came to think that the socket could be the invaid parameter, I 
don't know.
Maybe I did two changes to the code at once and was blaming the wrong one.

Thanks anyway for listening.
